Jürgen Trittin, the foreign policy spokesman of the German 'Greens' faction, called on Europe to support the refugees of Nagorno-Karabakh and to take measures against Azerbaijan to prevent the continuation of aggression against Armenia.
"It is necessary to stop the gas contracts and double the mission of the EU. We must not turn our backs on the 100,000 refugees of Nagorno-Karabakh, otherwise Azerbaijan will continue its work in Armenia.
Germany should be a leader here, and we have proven that it is possible. Now it is also necessary to double the EU mission to monitor the situation on the ground. Human rights are not up for debate. And I am afraid that Azerbaijan will not stop if Europe, especially now, does not understand that it will have to pay a high price for this.
The blind policy of the President of the European Commission von der Leyen only encouraged the President of Azerbaijan Aliyev. That was a big mistake. It is unfortunate that there are EU countries, such as Italy and Hungary, which block tougher measures, such as sanctions against the perpetrators of Azerbaijan," said Trittin.
