On March 18 the meeting of the representatives of state Commissions of Azerbaijan and Armenia on prisoners of war, hostages and missing persons took place In Tbilisi.

The meeting took place in a working condition with mutual understanding.

The mechanism of constructive cooperation has been worked out, based on the principle of returning the hostages after the necessary examination in short terms.

The participants of the meeting think that exchange of people is immoral and in the future only liberating the hostages will be considered.

The sides expressed their willingness to create conditions for the meeting of relatives and representatives of international organizations with hostages, in order to get confirmation of willingness in making a decision on returning them to their countries.

The State commissions of Armenia and Azerbaijan made an agreement on the further work and regular indirect contacts.
