The Federation of Armenian Organisations in the Netherlands (FAON) thanks MPs Don Ceder and Agnes Mulder for their questions to Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra on Azerbaijani illegal blockade of Lachin corridor and informs that in response to the questions, the Dutch Foreign Minister agrees that the blockage of Lachin corridor will lead to a humanitarian crisis in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).

In his letter to the Dutch parliament on February 10, FM Hoekstra said that the Netherlands supplies humanitarian aid to Nagorno-Karabakh through the EU and with the assistance of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), as only the latter has access via the Lachin corridor to Nagorno-Karabakh, FAON informed.

The FM wrote that The Netherlands has called on the Azerbaijani authorities in various talks and statements to comply with the provisions of the trilateral agreement.

“On January 19, 2023, I spoke on the phone with the Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers. During the telephone conversation with my Azerbaijani counterpart, I conveyed my concerns about the humanitarian situation and asked the Azerbaijani side to ensure free movement. On the same day, the Prime Minister delivered the same message to Azerbaijani President Aliyev in the margins of the World Economic Forum,” said the Minister.

The added that in accordance with the motion by Ceder and Mulder, the Dutch cabinet is also looking at what further options there are at a European level to persuade the Azerbaijani authorities to end the blockade.
