The Parliament of Catalonia has unanimously adopted an institutional statement demanding that the Azerbaijani authorities release all Armenian prisoners of war immediately.
The announcement particularly states, that on November 9, 2020, a ceasefire was signed between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which provided the release of all prisoners of war and civilians detained by the parties.
However, six months after this agreement, the government of Azerbaijan still refuses to comply with one of the main humanitarian provisions: the release of prisoners of war. There are still more than two hundred Armenian soldiers in captivity.
The Parliament of Catalonia defends that the release of prisoners is a prerequisite for the establishment of a negotiated and definitive peace. The right must prevail over violence.
For all this, the Parliament of Catalonia calls on the government of Azerbaijan to immediately release Armenian prisoners of war.
