The Artsakh Foreign Ministry released the following statement today.

We applaud the letter by 121 members of the European Parliament, addressed to the President of the European Commission and the President of the European Council, on the urgent need to release Armenian Prisoners of War currently unlawfully held in Azerbaijan.

We highly appreciate the position of the members of the European Parliament to speak about Azerbaijani violations of international humanitarian law and defend the legal demand by Artsakh. This is an exemplary manifestation of humanism, moral values and adherence to norms and principles of international law.
