MEPs set to condemn Azerbaijan's latest attack on Nagorno-Karabakh
The European Parliament on Tuesday will debate the dire situation in Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) following Azerbaijan’s latest unjustified attack, the parliament press office reported.
Azerbaijan’s offensive on 19 September saw Baku regain full military control of Nagorno-Karabakh and has resulted in a mass exodus of ethnic Armenians from their homes.
"Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has also warned of ethnic cleansing in the area, despite Azeri public reassurances that any ethnic Armenians choosing to stay in Nagorno-Karabakh will be treated as equal citizens of Azerbaijan,” the European Parliament said in a statement.
Following the plenary debate with representatives of the Spanish Presidency of the European Council and the European Commission, a resolution will be put to a vote on Thursday, October 5, it added.
