EU calls on Azerbaijan to ensure unrestricted movement of people and goods to Artsakh, supports ICRC

The European Union made a statement on Azerbaijan’s decision
to ban the movement of vehicles of the International Committee of the Red Cross
through the Lachin corridor.

“The EU strongly supports the activities of the ICRC as the
only major humanitarian organization present in the South Caucasus. Their work
along the Lachin corridor has been exclusively focused on providing the
essential needs for the Armenian population in Karabakh and much needed
humanitarian assistance. It is the responsibility of the Azerbaijani
authorities to ensure that ICRC can continue its operations and prevent a
potential humanitarian crisis,” reads the statement.

The EU reiterated its call for Azerbaijan to ensure the
unrestricted movement of people and goods via the Lachin corridor.
