Armenia, Azerbaijan Agree On Exchange of POWs, Bodies

The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed on the need for further confidence-building measures in the protracted search for peace in Karabakh as they held a fresh round of talks in Russia.

Serzh Sarkisian and Ilham Aliyev reportedly reaffirmed their commitment to finding a negotiated settlement to the conflict after their meeting on Wednesday and said that an exchange of prisoners of war and bodies of those killed in recent skirmishes is required as a major confidence-building measure to move forward in negotiations.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev hosted the meeting of the two presidents in the southern Russian city of Astrakhan.
