##Security Council chief Grigoryan about MFA Ayvazyan's role in landmine maps and POWs
Context: 15 POWs were recently repatriated after the landmine-for-POW process resumed. It happened after MFA Ayvazyan's resignation. Security Council chief Girogyran says it was because of Ayvazyan's resignation that the process resumed.
Reporter: do you believe the purpose of border clashes was no weaken the government ahead of elections?
Grigoryan: Azerbaijan and some internal Armenian forces wanted that. We even have some officials who contributed to that. For example, when it comes to the POW issue.
Reporter: what do you mean?
Grigoryan: the issue of POW repatriation was frozen for a long period. When MFA Ayvazyan resigned, the problem was resolved very quickly. Ayvazyan, being a state official, was telling our partners that we did not have landmine maps, even though we had already shared them. When Ayvazyan resigned, we had the opportunity to resolve the issue.
Reporter: was Ayvazyan lying?
Grigoryan: not only was he lying but he was also sabotaging the process. He had no desire to resolve Armenia's security issues. His primary goal was to create political problems for our team. He quit while on the "battlefield". Don't you wonder why the issue was resolved within just two weeks of his resignation? //
Ayvazyan denied Grigoryan's allegations but did not want to comment further at this time.

##Russian ambassador about POWs:
Russia was/is doing everything possible to return Armenian POWs. Peacekeeper chief Muradov plays a big role here. President Putin, MOD, and MFA are also working on it. It's not an easy task.
Q: will the process expedite now that the elections are over?
I don't know, but the issue of POWs is under the constant attention of Russia. I think the recent return of 15 POWs would not have happened if it wasn't for preparatory work done by Russia.

##Russian ambassador about deploying Russian guards on Gegharkunik borders:
Russia already has border patrols in the problematic areas of Syunik [unclear if he means the border road or the Sev Lake]. I don't have info on when they will be deployed in Gegharkunik.
