Bundestag’s Michael Roth calls for EUMA expansion into Azerbaijani territory, urges Baku to end blockade

YEREVAN, AUGUST 30, ARMENPRESS. German lawmaker, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Bundestag (German parliament) Michael Roth has called out Azerbaijan for jeopardizing the peace process with Armenia and causing a humanitarian disaster in Nagorno-Karabakh.

“There’s a real danger of a humanitarian disaster and ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan is thus jeopardizing the fragile Armenia-Azerbaijan peace process and security in South Caucasus. The EU and Germany must not remain silent. Azerbaijan must immediately lift the blockade. We need a CoE fact-finding mission in Nagorno-Karabakh. The EU mission in Armenia (EUMA) must be enhanced and cover also Azerbaijan’s state territory,” Roth said in a post on X.
