French MP introduces draft resolution on immediate release of Armenian POWs
French lawmaker François Pupponi introduced a draft resolution to the Parliament calling for the immediate release of Armenian prisoners of war (POWs) in Azerbaijan, the MP said in a tweet on Tuesday.
“I tabled a motion for a resolution calling for the immediate release of Armenian prisoners of war,” Pupponi said.
“Following the conflict with Azerbaijan in Artsakh, many Armenian servicemen are still being held by the Azerbaijani authorities and awaiting repatriation. This practice is absolutely contrary to the conventions and international law.
“France must demand their release, this is the gist of my motion for the resolution and I want to thank all my colleagues who have agreed to sign it,” the MP tweeted.
