Spanish MP considers Azerbaijan's actions a gross violation of UN norms
МирAccording to the Spanish MP Jon Iñarritu, the actions taken by Azerbaijan are a gross violation of the international norms and principles of the United Nations Charter.
In response to the observation by the Armenpress correspondent regarding Azerbaijani violations of the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia since 2021, the MP said: “Those norms definitely prohibit the use of force and the violation of the territorial integrity of sovereign nations. Persistent violations committed by Azerbaijan not only undermine regional stability but also erode the foundations of trust and cooperation between neighboring states.’’
“Despite these worrying developments, the European Union has refrained from imposing sanctions against Azerbaijan or its leadership. Failure to address these violations not only encourages further aggression but also creates a dangerous precedent that threatens the peace and security of the entire region,’’ Jon Iñarritu said.
Referring to the issue of Armenian prisoners of war held illegally by Azerbaijan, including former leaders of Nagorno-Karabakh, the Spanish MP stated that they should be released to reunite with their families.
The handling of Azerbaijani political prisoners, dissidents and journalists under the Aliyev regime is well-documented, characterized by systemic human rights abuses and a gross disregard for due process. Therefore, all Armenian prisoners held illegally in Baku should be released and allowed to reunite with their families. Such reunification with their families is not only a matter of moral imperative but also an important step for détente in the region," concluded the MP.
