In a complicated diplomatic exercise involving US and Georgian diplomats, Armenia and Azerbaijan on Saturday implemented "an exchange" that whilst humanitarian in nature also has deep diplomatic consequences.
As part of the exercise, Azerbaijan returned to Armenia fifteen soldiers that had been caught on Azerbaijani territory after the 10 November 2020 cease fire, and which it had refused to recognise as prisoners of war. On its part, Armenia gave Azerbaijan maps of minefields in the Aghdam Region, which returned to Azerbaijani jurisdiction as a result of the 44 day war. The maps are reported to show the location of 97,000 landmines.
