Spanish Congress passes motion to send humanitarian aid to Artsakh, suspend arms sales to Azerbaijan
The Spanish Congress on Monday adopted a motion submitted by MP Jon Iñarritu to send humanitarian assistance to Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) and to suspend arms sales to Azerbaijan. EH Bildu reported.
The motion also urges international organizations to be actively involved in the search for a "peaceful and negotiated solution to the conflict which has already caused a humanitarian crisis.”
The Spanish lawmaker stressed the urgency of providing humanitarian assistance to refugee families and the need to maintain a proactive position within international organizations, so that “the conflict in the Artsakh Republic is put on the international humanitarian agenda.”
"Despite the ceasefire agreed last week, the conflict continues and a lasting solution is needed more than ever," he stated.
Recently, Iñarritu has been part of a delegation of observers comprising parliamentarians and journalists from different states of the European Union, has seen first-hand the situation in Armenia and Artsakh and has witnessed the damage caused by the Turkish-Azerbaijani aggression.
