19 children separated from their parents for more than a month returned home on the Goris-Stepanakert road

  • Artsakh Ombudsman Gegham Stepanyan:
Due to the blockade, 19 children separated from their parents and family for more than a month returned home on the Goris-Stepanakert road.
The children were transported from Goris to Stepanakert accompanied by Russian peacekeeping forces. The car was stopped by Azerbaijanis in the area near Shushi-Karin Tak, on a cordoned-off section of the road where Azerbaijani government agents posing as "eco-activists" and journalists serving them are stationed. Then 10-15 Azerbaijanis approached the car with cameras in civilian clothes, some of them broke into the car and filmed the children in the car. As a result of the provocative actions of the Azerbaijanis, a stampede occurred in the car, as a result of which one of the children lost consciousness.

The European Parliament demands the immediate restoration of free movement along the Lachin corridor, and also condemns the September aggression of Azerbaijan against Armenia. This is stated in the resolution "Implementation of the Common Foreign and Security Policy: Annual Report 2022" (CFSP), adopted during the plenary session of the European Parliament.
The European Parliament strongly condemns the illegal blockade by Azerbaijan, considering it a violation of the trilateral declaration of November 9, 2020.
In particular, the report, the main speaker of which was the Chairman of the Committee on International Relations of the European Parliament David McAllister, strongly condemns the latest military aggression of Azerbaijan on September 12, 2022 against the sovereign territory of Armenia.
"The EU is ready to participate more actively in the settlement of protracted conflicts in the region and calls on the Azerbaijani authorities to immediately leave the territory of Armenia and release the detained prisoners of war," the message reads.
