European Parliament calls for sanctions against Azerbaijan

The European Parliament has adopted CFSP and CSDP reports, reiterating its principled stance on Armenia.

The reports call for immediate EU sanctions on Azerbaijani authorities.

MEPs also urge to suspend the EU-Azerbaijan Memorandum of Understanding on Energy.

The European Parliament calls on the EU civilian mission in Armenia (EUMA) to closely monitor the evolving security situation on the ground, provide transparent reporting to Parliament and actively contribute to conflict resolution efforts.

It calls for the EU and its member states to strengthen EUMA’s mandate, increase its size, extend its duration and also place monitors along the border with Turkey and calls on Azerbaijan to allow EUMA’s presence on its side of the border and in Nagorno-Karabakh.
