A long-standing political negotiated solution is crucial to determine the future status of Artsakh, Member of the European Parliament Pernando Barrena said at the plenary session of the European Parliament.

According to him, it is time to demand to 'Azerbaijan the immediate and unconditional release of all Armenian prisoners detained during and after the conflict, fully implementation of the ceasefire agreement and to refrain of further military intrusion in Armenian territory.'

"A long-standing political negotiated solution based on the principles of Non-Use of Force, Territorial Integrity, and the Equal Rights and Self-Determination of Peoples, is crucial to determine the future status of Artsakh," he added.
