Paris calls for the immediate release of all Armenian prisoners held by Azerbaijan. Mayor of Paris
Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, referred to Armenia and Karabakh on her X page.
Hidalgo, in particular, wrote: "The tragedy continues in Armenia. Azerbaijan is criminal in the arbitrary detention of the former officials of Artsakh and in destroying the Armenian heritage in that territory. Yesterday I was able to discuss this with Luis Moreno Ocampo, the former prosecutor of the International Criminal Court and the author of the report on Azerbaijan's blockade of the Lachine Corridor and the process of genocide.
Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, 100,000 refugees and political prisoners deported by Azerbaijan. On December 10, on the occasion of the International Human Rights Day, I will hand over the honorary citizenship of Paris to the Armenian representatives of Artsakh.
Paris also calls for the immediate release of all Armenian prisoners held by Azerbaijan."
