The European Union issued a statement on the developments
\naround the Lachin corridor and the tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan
\nalong the border.<\/p>\n
<\/p><\/p>\n
The statement reads that the European Union is following
\nwith great concern the continued restrictions on free movement along the Lachin
\ncorridor and the serious humanitarian and security consequences affecting the
\nKarabakh Armenians.
<\/p><\/p>\n
“Medical supplies and essential goods are in critically
\nshort supply or have already run out, with dire consequences for the local
\npopulation. The EU deplores that the activities of the International Committee
\nof the Red Cross in the region have been heavily hampered and calls for their
\nfull and swift resumption, including transport of humanitarian supplies,” reads
\nthe statement.
<\/p><\/p>\n
The EU reiterates its call made by the HRVP on 26 July
\nstrongly and believes the Lachin corridor must be unblocked, in line with past
\nagreements and the ICJ Order.<\/p>\n
<\/p><\/p>\n
The EU has been closely following the growing tensions
\nbetween Azerbaijan and Armenia along their international border over the past
\nmonths, with shooting incidents reported almost on a daily basis. <\/p>\n
<\/p><\/p>\n
“The EU reiterates its calls for restraint and dialogue
\namong all parties involved. Continuous efforts are necessary to rebuild
\nconfidence between Armenia and Azerbaijan, in order to secure sustainable peace
\nand stability in the region for the benefit of the local civilian population.
\nSwift establishment of dialogue between Baku and representatives of Armenians
\nliving in the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast is crucial, in
\nparticular for solution of the humanitarian crisis in the area, but also
\nconcerning rights and security of Karabakh Armenians and other issues. The EU
\nremains fully committed to supporting efforts to strengthen peace and security
\nin the South Caucasus, for the benefit of all people in the region. We should
\nnot lose the momentum built in recent months for settling the conflict between
\nArmenia and Azerbaijan. It is important to continue the negotiations,” reads
