Скачать или смотреть Nagorno-Karabakh conflict: Azerbaijan, Armenia exchange prisoners as part of peace deal

Azerbaijan and Armenia started the process of exchanging prisoners Monday, a move stipulated in the peace deal between the two ex-Soviet nations that ended recent fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh.

Azerbaijani authorities said an all-for-all exchange of prisoners and hostages have been agreed upon with Armenia, and a plane with some of the captives landed in Azerbaijan on Monday afternoon.

Last week, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey could open its borders to Armenia if Yerevan takes positive steps for regional peace, adding he discussed forming a six-country regional cooperation platform with his Azeri counterpart.

The six-week conflict between Azerbaijan and ethnic Armenian forces over the region and its surrounding areas was brought to a halt by a Russian-brokered ceasefire deal last month.
