French politicians call on Macron to ensure the safety of Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh

Eleven French lawmakers and political leaders have signed a transpartisan letter urging President Emmanuel Macron to intervene to ‘prevent irreparable damage’ and ensure the safety of Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh, Armradio reports.

In a letter published by Le Monde, the politicians note that since December 12, Azerbaijan has been occupying the Lachin corridor, the only route to the outside world for the Armenian population of Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh, creating the threat of a major humanitarian disaster. About 120,000 people, including 30,000 children, have been deprived of resources, including food and medical supplies. For three days, Azerbaijan also cut off the gas supply, leaving people without heating, in freezing temperatures.

In line with the democratic will of the National Assembly and the Senate, they ask the President of the Republic to do everything possible to ensure the lasting security of the Armenians of Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh and the Republic of Armenia. Given that Azerbaijan has announced that it refuses any international negotiations on the Artsakh issue, the deputies and senators, appeal to Macron to intervene immediately to prevent the irreparable by taking the following measures:

  • Condemn Azerbaijan for violation of international law, occupation of a part of the territory of the Republic of Armenia and war crimes,
  • Plan a humanitarian presence in Artsakh and provide immediate economic assistance to Armenia.
  • Meet the representatives of Artsakh,
  • Mediate with partners in the EU and the United States so that they take the same steps, and establish joint economic and political sanctions against Azerbaijan,
  • Mediate with partners in the EU and the United States to ensure the relaunching of the Stepanakert airport and ensure the safety of air communication with Artsakh,
  • Submit a claim to the International Criminal Court with the prospect of the UN Security Council sending an international peacekeeping force.
