Paris demands immediate release of Armenian prisoners held in Azerbaijan
Paris demands the immediate release of all Armenian prisoners held by Azerbaijan, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo insisted on Tuesday.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Hidalgo said she met with ex-ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo on Tuesday to discuss the “unfolding tragedy” in Armenia, Azerbaijan’s arbitrary detentions of former Artsakh officials and destruction of the Armenian heritage in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).
“Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, the 100,000 refugees and the political prisoners held by Azerbaijan. I will award the honorary citizenship of Paris to representatives of the Artsakh Armenians on December 10, Human Rights Day,” the mayor wrote.
“Paris also demands the immediate release of all Armenian prisoners held by Azerbaijan,” she added.
