Commander of the joint Armenian-Russian group, Lieutenant General, Tigran Parvanyan, and Deputy Prime Minister, Tigran Avinyan, meet a Russian plane carrying more than 40 Armenian prisoners of war at Erebuni airport in Yerevan, Armenia. Azerbaijan and Armenia have started the process of exchanging prisoners, a move stipulated in the peace deal between the two ex-Soviet nations that ended recent fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh. Heavy fighting erupted in late September and marked the biggest escalation of a decades-old conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, killing more than 5,600 people on both sides.
