European Parliament Urges Release of Armenian Detainees in Azerbaijan
European Parliament Calls for Immediate Release of Armenian Detainees and Political Prisoners in Azerbaijan
The European Parliament has adopted a resolution calling for the immediate release of Armenian detainees and political prisoners held in Azerbaijan. The measure, passed in Strasbourg, represents international pressure on Baku regarding the status of individuals detained during and after the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and subsequent tensions. The resolution reflects ongoing concerns among Western lawmakers about the treatment of Armenian prisoners of war and civilians in Azerbaijani custody. The action underscores the continued diplomatic focus on humanitarian issues affecting the Armenian population in the South Caucasus region, an issue of significant concern to Armenian diaspora communities in the United States.
