What process led to prisoners’ return

Armenian prisoners held in Azerbaijan, who had been subjected to years of torture—including burning of hand tattoos, denial of first medical aid, and being left disabled—have returned home.

On the same day, the Armenian side handed over two Syrian terrorists, who had been sentenced to life imprisonment in Armenia. Authorities insist that these two processes are unrelated. However, some experts note the timing and consider a possible connection, viewing both actions as part of a broader negotiation process.
