German politician calls for sanctions against Azerbaijan

The EU strategy of equidistance between Armenia and
Azerbaijan has failed. We must now act quickly and decisively to prevent ethnic
cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh and an attack on the territory of Armenia. Chair
of the Bundestag Foreign Affairs Committee Michael Roth made an X (Twitter)
post on this. 

“This is the only language that autocrats like Aliyev
understand. The EU needs to get a political and economic sanctions regime in
place as soon as possible to bring Baku back to the negotiating table. I
welcome the ceasefire, but it should not be used to displace civilian
population in Nagorno-Karabakh,” he wrote.

Roth added that they should significantly strengthen the EU
civilian mission EUMA to further monitor the entire Armenian-Azerbaijani border
and line of contact to stabilize the situation and identify possible Azerbaijan
attacks on Armenian territory.
