Guided by the principle of humanism, Azerbaijan on Monday returned eight Armenian servicemen to Yerevan. 

Some of them are the servicemen detained on November 16, 2021 when Azerbaijan suppressed a provocation committed by the Armenian armed forces in direction of the Kalbajar district of the state border.
