The Committee on External Relations of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives convened a crucial hearing Wednesday to deliberate on resolutions concerning Nagorno-Karabakh, put forth by Members of Parliament (MPs) Els Van Hoof and Michel De Maegd.

The hearing featured vital contributions from diplomatic representatives and advocacy leaders, providing the Committee with necessary insights on advancing measures to protect the rights of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh, informs the European Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy (EAFJD).

Also, many Parliamentarians raised their questions and concerns. Most specifically revolved around the issue of the Armenian refugees of Nagorno-Karabakh and the necessity to increase the humanitarian aid of the EU and of the aid Belgium provides to them. Additionally, parliamentarians inquired under which conditions the refugees could return to Nagorno-Karabakh.

The proposed resolutions will be voted on by the Belgian Federal Parliament at the end of May.
