The presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia agreed on Wednesday to swap prisoners of war and exchange the bodies of soldiers killed in clashes, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said after a meeting with Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan.
Relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan are strained over Nagorny Karabakh, a predominantly ethnic Armenian region. The conflict first erupted in 1988, when the region claimed independence from Azerbaijan to join Armenia.
