The Spanish Congress at the plenary session on December 22 unanimously adopted a statement on the Azerbaijanis' blockade of Lachin corridor and the ensuing humanitarian crisis, the Embassy of Armenia in Spain reported.

The statement reads in particular:

"For 11 days, Azerbaijan has blocked the Lachin corridor, Armenia's only land connection to Nagorno-Karabakh. At the same time, the gas supply to this territory has been stopped, which led to a humanitarian crisis and increased tension in the region.

For this reason, and in accordance with the position of the European Commission, the Congress of Deputies:

-is following with concern the various developments around the Lachin corridor;

-calls on the Azerbaijani authorities to ensure freedom and security of movement along the corridor, in line with the trilateral statement of 9 November 2020. Restrictions on free movement cause great suffering to the population and could create a humanitarian crisis;

-calls on the parties to resolve and settle their differences through dialogue and negotiation;

-calls on international structures to prevent a new humanitarian crisis in the region."
