Are the militants extradited to Syria by Armenia still in prison?
Сидят ли экстрадированные Арменией в Сирию боевики - ответ Пашиняна
Pashinyan's response.
The transfer of two convicted mercenaries became known earlier this year.
О передаче двух осужденных наемников стало известно в начале этого года.

YEREVAN, October 7 – Sputnik.
ЕРЕВАН, 7 окт – Sputnik.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan declined to directly answer a question about whether two militants extradited by Yerevan earlier this year are still serving their sentences in Syria.
Премьер-министр Армении Никол Пашинян не дал прямого ответа на вопрос, продолжают ли отбывать заключение в Сирии двое боевиков, выданных Ереваном в начале этого года.
The prime minister described the extradition of convicted citizens of various countries as normal judicial practice, something Armenia does as well.
Премьер назвал нормальной судебной практикой экстрадицию осужденных граждан тех или иных стран – так делает и Армения.
Any decision involves an "element of expediency."
В любом решении есть "элемент целесообразности".
Earlier this year, Armenian authorities extradited two Armenian citizens sentenced to life imprisonment, Mukhrab Muhammad al-Shkheri and Yousef Alabet al-Hajji, to Syria via Turkey, with the understanding that they would continue serving their sentences in their home country.
В начале этого года власти Армении через Турцию передали Сирии двух граждан этой страны, приговоренных к пожизненному заключению, – Мухраба Мухаммада аль-Шхери и Юсефа Алабета аль-Хаджи с условием их дальнейшего отбывания наказания на родине.
The mercenaries fought on the side of Azerbaijan during the 44-day war.
Наемники воевали на стороне Азербайджана во время 44-дневной войны.
