MEP Miriam Lexmann hopes Kallas will use Baku trip to ensure release of illegally held Armenian POWs

Member of the European Parliament Miriam Lexmann has expressed hope that EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas, while visiting Azerbaijan, will ensure the release of illegally held Armenian prisoners.

The EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy / Vice-President of the European Commission traveled to Azerbaijan on April 25.

Many MEPs have criticized her for visiting ‘autocracy’ Azerbaijan and not traveling to democratic Armenia which has recently passed the EU bill.

“Since the HRVP Kaja Kallas is visiting Azerbaijan on the eve of the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, I sincerely hope that the lesson of this tragic anniversary will be seized upon to ensure the release of all political prisoners & illegally held Armenian prisoners,” Lexmann said on X.
