And it has always been problematic in the sense that there are no clear solutions, especially since they should be the result of negotiations, and as a result of those negotiations, the goals of the opponent should be understood. I know that it is in the center of daily attention, the Government and the relevant responsible persons of the Government are trying to return our POWs by all possible methods. I can tell you that the President of the Republic has what to do there. That institute can be useful. The Institute of the President is represented in many places, on international platforms or during meetings with the heads of individual states, he is obliged to raise the issue of POWs," Khachaturyan said.
