Practical steps must be taken immediately to cease the military actions: EPP on situation in Nagorno-Karabakh
The members of the European People’s Party (EPP) Political Assembly (PA) met via video-conference today during which it referred to the hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh.
“EPP is also deeply concerned by new large scale military aggression along the line of contact between Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan and by the civilian casualties including children. All parties must honour international commitments to resolve the conflict peacefully, through exclusively political means. Practical steps must be taken immediately to cease the military actions and withdraw troops to the positions they had before 27 September 2020. We strongly support a return to the negotiation process mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs,” the party said in the statement.
