“This blockade has [the] ultimate goal of ethnic cleansing and this should not be tolerated,” RTL quoted Francie Derderyan, a lawyer and head of the AGBU Young Professionals of Luxembourg, which organised the protest, as saying.

“We demand the international community take concrete actions against the Azerbaijani aggression," Derderyan added.

Tigran Balayan, Ambassador of Armenia to Luxembourg, added to the calls of the protestors, stating that “Azerbaijan's siege of Nagorno-Karabakh... is [a] gross violation of all possible bilateral, trilateral and multilateral commitments and obligations, international humanitarian law, precisely the Geneva Conventions."

Azerbaijan is keeping the Lachin Corridor blocked since December 12. The corridor is Nagorno Karabakh’s only connection with the outside world.
