On May 22, at a press conference Pashinyan stated that Armenia could return two Azerbaijani soldiers to Baku. "Normalization of relations involves the adoption of complex and important decisions. But such decisions are not taken unilaterally. We are ready to discuss the issue after the completion of legal procedures," he said.
