Due to the unleashed aggression against Artsakh, there are still unresolved humanitarian issues, such as the return of Armenian prisoners of war (POWs) held in Azerbaijan and humanitarian access to Artsakh, the politicization of which is unacceptable. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan stated this today during a press conference with the Secretary General of the Council of Europe Marija Pejčinović Burić.
“The anti-Armenian and belligerent rhetoric, the physical and psychological intimidation of the civilian population are also unacceptable.
We believe that the Council of Europe, the relevant institutions of the coganization and the heads must be more determined in thee humanitarian and human rights issues and make every effort to respect the interim decisions made by the ECHR, the PACE resolutions, and the provisions of the November 8 Memorandum of Understanding of the Commissioner for Human Rights,” Mirzoyan stated.
