On Thursday, the European Parliament adopted three resolutions on respecting human rights in Brazil, Morocco, and Nagorno-Karabakh.

The part of the resolution regarding Nagorno Karabakh reads:

"Parliament deplores the severe humanitarian crisis caused by the current blockade of the Lachin Corridor in Nagorno-Karabakh by the self-proclaimed environmentalists of Azerbaijan. As the corridor is the only way connecting the war-torn region to Armenia and the outside world, MEPs call on Azerbaijan to reopen it immediately to ensure access to basic goods and services for the most vulnerable groups."

The resolution emphasizes the need for a comprehensive peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which will guarantee the rights and security of the Armenian population of Nagorno Karabakh. The resolution calls for international organizations to be allowed into the area to provide necessary humanitarian assistance, and for a UN or OSCE fact-finding mission to travel to the Lachine Corridor to assess the humanitarian situation on the ground.

Deputies of the European Parliament condemn the inactivity of the Russian "peacekeepers" present in the territory and believe that they should be replaced by OSCE international peacekeepers. They also call on the EU to ensure that the people of Nagorno-Karabakh are no longer held hostage by Baku's actions, Russia's destructive role, or the Minsk Group's inaction," the resolution reads.
