Three US senators ask the State Department to demand the release of political prisoners in Azerbaijan

All four outlets describe one letter from three senators to Secretary of State Rubio and one demand. Only the count differs: OC Media and Publika put "more than 300" in quotation marks, as the senators’ words, while News.am’s headline says "all political prisoners".

Peter Welch, Tim Kaine and Thom Tillis wrote to Secretary of State Marco Rubio: the release of journalists, opposition figures and civil society activists should be a condition of a strategic partnership agreement with Azerbaijan. The senators add that they support the administration's efforts to advance peace in the region.
