Azerbaijani armed forces have occupied the territory of Armenia. PACE co-rapporteurs
We are concerned about the numerous reports of alleged war crimes or inhumane treatment by the Azerbaijani armed forces. Said Kimmo Kilyunen and Boriana Eberg, co-rapporteurs of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, on the monitoring of Armenia's obligations and commitments.
"We note that the military prosecutor's office of Azerbaijan has decided to investigate the facts, and we hope these investigations will be public and transparent. While the two sides blame each other for the resumption of hostilities, Azerbaijani armed forces have invaded Armenian territory, violating Armenia's territorial sovereignty and Azerbaijan's obligation to settle conflicts peacefully under the CE Charter.
Therefore, we call on the authorities of Azerbaijan to immediately withdraw from all parts of the territory of Armenia and release the prisoners of war under their control. Only diplomatic measures can lead to a lasting and fair settlement that will benefit the population of both states," they concluded.
