European Parliament commemorates one year since ethnic cleansing in Nagorno Karabakh at the initiative of Nathalie Loiseau

At the initiative of ⁦Nathalie Loiseau⁩ the ⁦European Parliament commemorated one year since ethnic cleansing by Azerbaijan of Armenians in Nagorno Karabakh, the Armenian Embassy in Belgium informs.

Addressing the Parliament, the MEP reminded that September 19 marks the first anniversary of the ethnic cleansing perpetrated by Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh, noting that one year later none of the more than 100,000 Armenians have the chance to return to their homes. 

“Azerbaijan continues to hold the prisoners from the past conflict, and they have been unable to return home. The spiritual and cultural heritage of Nagorno-Karabakh is threatened, and numerous monuments have been destroyed. No peace treaty has been signed with Armenia, and in a few weeks Baku will host COP29 in a few weeks. All those who are going to attend, have a duty to call for ensuring the return to Nagorno-Karabakh and the release of captives,” the MEP said.
