The Netherlands is deeply concerned about the humanitarian
crisis facing the population of the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast
and fully supports Josep Borrell’s statement.
To remind, High Representative of the Union for Foreign
Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell’s statement reads that the EU took
note of the expressed readiness of the Azerbaijani authorities to supply goods
via the city of Akna (Aghdam).
“This should not be seen as an alternative to the reopening
of the Lachin corridor. The EU also notes that ICRC activities in the region
have been heavily impacted and calls for their full resumption, including
medical evacuations and humanitarian supplies. The EU stresses that
humanitarian access must not be politicized by any actors,” Borrell wrote.
