No official statement was made on the negotiations over the return of 10 Armenian prisoners of war by Azerbaijan, MP Tigran Abrahamyan from the opposition With Honor faction said on Monday.

Azerbaijan handed over 10 captured soldiers to Armenia on Saturday in return for Artsakh minefield maps. The servicemen had been captured during the November 16 attack by Azerbaijan.

“The issue is important because Azerbaijan claims that Armenia has handed over to them the minefield maps, which were not given to Azerbaijan before,” Abrahamyan wrote on Facebook.

“If I am not mistaken, until recently Armenia handed over the maps of the minefields of three regions to Azerbaijan.

“Amid Armenia's silence and Azerbaijan's claims, it turns out that Baku was provided with the minefield maps of all areas, which Yerevan refused to hand over until recently,” the lawmaker said, calling for clarifications over the matter.
