The authorities of Azerbaijan need to release the Armenian prisoners of war immediately and without any precondition. This is stated in the resolution adopted by the regional parliament of the Basque Country on Friday.

Member of Parliament Oihana Etxebarrieta Legrand declared that Azerbaijan isn’t implementing the provision stated in the trilateral agreements and regarding the release of all Armenian prisoners of war detained during and after the conflict, adding that the Azerbaijani side needs to maintain the ceasefire and renounce attempts to invade Armenian territory.

The MP also stated that the conflict requires a global solution and that, in this stage, it is necessary to condemn the Turkish-Azerbaijani aggression in Nagorno-Karabakh. “We express our full support to Armenia with regard to social and territorial rights,” she said.

In addition, the Parliament of the Basque Country affirms the position of the European Parliament which stated that the future status of Nagorno-Karabakh is a key issue that needs to be solved through political discussions, based on no use of force, the territorial integrity of states, equal rights and the right of peoples to self-determination.
