The office of the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Human Rights Defender has counted some 60 Armenian prisoners of war kept in Azerbaijan, most of whom have been identified.

Ombudsman Artak Beglaryan said his office is constantly updating the list of POWs, based on videos and other evidence provided by relatives or published online.

Their fact-finding mission is working to reveal the fate and whereabouts of some 40 civilians forcibly disappeared or detained.

A trilateral agreement signed by Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia envisages the exchange of prisoners of war, hostages and other detained persons and bodies of the dead. Under the deal, the Armenian side is returning all the seven regions surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, having lost a part of Karabakh itself in hostilities.
