Basque parliamentarians call for condemnation of Azerbaijani aggression

YEREVAN, AUGUST 15, ARMENPRESS.The military aggression of the Azerbaijani side against Nagorno-Karabakh, cases of shooting at the civilian population and the car of the International Committee of the Red Cross should be condemned by the international community. This was said in a joint statement by Basque Senator Aiartza Azurtza and Congress member Jon Inarritu, provided to "Armenpress".

The statement particularly reads that Azerbaijan's recent actions are violations of international law and are contrary to the requirements of the Minsk Group on maintaining the ceasefire regime. "During these years the people of Nagorno-Karabakh managed to create a peaceful and democratic society. They deserve independence and freedom. The international community should stand by their side and stop Azerbaijan's military ambitions. Azerbaijan's continuing aggression endangers the ceasefire agreement, which was signed 20 years ago. We demand that the European Union and the governments of member states condemn the attacks of the Azerbaijani side, that jeopardize the vital work carried out by the Minsk Group and force Azerbaijan to stop the violence," reads the statement of the Basque parliamentarians.
