\nBrussels, the MEP said that Azerbaijan’s policy is not conducive to the
\natmosphere of trust and to the peace agreement either. Kovatchev condemns
\nAzerbaijan for going back on the tripartite agreement of 2020. According to him,
\ninstead of returning all Armenian POWs, Azerbaijan keeps arresting people. The
\nstanding rapporteur on Armenia noted that two of the three fundamental
\nprinciples established by the OSCE Minsk Group are being breached; there is a
\nuse of force and the right to self-determination is not respected at all.<\/p><\/p>\n\n
“I am deeply saddened by the deterioration of the
\nhumanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh and am calling for international
\npressure and support once again. We should continue to pressure Azerbaijan into
\nunblocking the Lachin corridor, which is the only direct link between Armenia
\nand Artsakh. We should also continue to support the Armenian population of
\nNagorno-Karabakh. The current situation is a clear violation of the tripartite
\nstatement of 2020, under which that corridor should have operated in both
\ndirections and it should be ensured by the Russian military presence there.
\nHowever, they fail in their duties. This shows once again that Russia is not a
\nreliable partner, and other international partners, namely the EU, especially
\nFrance and the U.S. should redouble their efforts to find a solution acceptable
\nto the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh,” he said.
