PACE asked to debate 'hostilities between Armenia and Azerbaijan' at autumn session
The autumn plenary session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) will be held in Strasbourg from 10 to 14 October.
Current affairs debates have been requested on “Europe half a year after the start of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine”, “Food security in Europe: grain exports through Ukrainian ports” and “The military hostilities between Armenia and Azerbaijan”. An urgent debate has also been requested on "Recent outrageous and inhuman activities of the Russian Federation".
The PACE will decide its final agenda on the first day of the session.
Azerbaijan launched a massive attack against Armenia just after midnight on 13 September, shelling Armenian army positions and border settlements for two days. Over 200 Armenian soldiers were killed in border clashes.
