Council of Europe Secretary General Marija Pejčinović Burić, in a statement issued on Jul 28, says she is extremely concerned about the serious humanitarian and human rights situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, and she is thinking about residents who are bearing the brunt of this situation.

“I strongly reiterate my previous calls to restore the free movement along the Lachin corridor. I draw attention to the interim measures indicated by the European Court of Human Rights concerning the Lachin Corridor seven months ago,” writes Marija Pejčinović Burić.

She calls on Armenian and Azerbaijan to engage in genuine dialog to de-escalate tensions and restore peace.
