Such statements are not appropriate for a state that considers itself a partner of the EU, referring to the recent statements of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh during the discussion on "Humanitarian consequences of the blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh" in the European Parliament, MEP Marina Kaljurand said.

She called on Baku to respect international obligations, stop the blockade of the Lachin Corridor, and start negotiations on a peace agreement.

She addressed the Azerbaijani officials who started a "witch hunt" against him.

"You will not bully me or silence me. Your attacks reveal your weakness."

"And what are we Europeans doing? Nothing, more than nothing," he said.

"Why should the Caucasus be an area of hostility, if it can be an area of prosperity? The EU can and should bring stable peace to both countries because it is in our interest to see a peaceful and prosperous Caucasus," he said.

Bert-Jan Ruissen noticed that the situation in NK is getting worse, he mentioned that more observers should be sent to the region, more pressure should be put on the government of Baku, there should be peace talks, and there should be clear guarantees for the population of NK.

In his assessment, neither the Caucasus nor the EU will benefit from the new tension.

"People in Nagorno-Karabakh are hungry and in the cold, they need an air bridge from the EU or the Russian Federation. Together with the UN and the OSCE, this disaster must be prevented," said Martina Michels.

Clement Groeschel proposed replacing Russian peacekeepers with UN peacekeepers.

"If there is a natural disaster: fire, flood, earthquake, there is a reaction, but we see what kind of torture hundreds of thousands of people are subjected to. Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh have three options: to renounce their identity, to leave, or to suffer the same fate as happened to Armenians in Turkey in 1915. The air bridge is the minimum we have to do and we have to do it before the end of the week," declared Emmanouil Fragkos.
