A group of European Parliament deputies want the body to approve a resolution “Urging Azerbaijan to respect and implement the trilateral statement of 9 November 2020 and immediately reopen the Lachin corridor to enable free movement and ensure access to essential goods and services, thus guaranteeing security in the region and safeguarding residents’ livelihoods.”

The resolution also “Condemns the inaction of Russian peacekeepers and considers that their replacement with OSCE international peacekeepers, under a UN mandate, should be negotiated urgently.”

The MEPs “Stress the need for a comprehensive peace agreement, which must guarantee the rights and security of Nagorno-Karabakh’s Armenian population; calls on Azerbaijan to protect the rights of Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh and refrain from its inflammatory rhetoric that calls for discrimination against Armenians and urges Armenians to leave Nagorno-Karabakh.”

The resolution also calls for a UN or OSCE fact-finding mission to the Lachin corridor to assess the humanitarian situation on the ground.
