Joint Declaration adopted after the trilateral meeting of the Presidents of Armenia, the Russian Federation and Azerbaijan in Astrakhan
“On October 27, 2010 the Presidents of the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Russian Federation met in Astrakhan at the invitation of the President of the Russian Federation and discussed thoroughly the process and the prospects of the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
Reaffirming the provisions of the Joint Declaration signed in Moscow on November 2, 2008, the Presidents underlined that the resolution of the conflict through the political and diplomatic means requires additional efforts aimed at the reinforcement of the cease-fire and enhancement of confidence building in the military sphere. Toward that end, the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed as a first step, assisted by the Minsk Group and the International Committee of Red Cross, to immediately exchange prisoners of war and return remains of the dead, and driven by the utterly humanistic nature of these issues, to act upon this principle hereafter.”
