According to APA, Arzu Abdullayeva said that the visit was realized within Parliament Assembly of European Council: "Project on war prisoners and hostages was implemented at the initiative of HCA. Our principal aim of the visit to Nagorno Karabakh was to monitor the occupied lands."

A. Abdullayeva added that they could monitor Shusha prison only: "We were delayed for half an hour at the fourth floor of the Shusha prison where Azerbaijani war prisoners were collectively held. We saw the wall writings by Azerbaijani prisoners in the jail in unbearable condition. We were not allowed to go to Meden in Kelbajar and to use cameras."

Abdullayeva also said that they met with Arkadi Gukasyan, leader of the separatist regime, and family members of the alleged Armenian missing and war prisoners.
