The Parliament of Catalonia adopted a statement on October 21, calling for stop to the military operations in Nagorno Karabakh, condemning the attacks by the Azerbaijani armed forces on the civilian population and supporting the constructive talks between the sides aimed at the peaceful settlement of the conflict which should be based on the expression of will of the majority of the people of Nagorno Karabakh, the Armenian Embassy in Spain said.
