The members of the European People’s Party (EPP) Political Assembly (PA) called on Azerbaijan to accelerate the exchange of prisoners of war (POWs), captives and bodies of the dead and demand their immediate release, the EPP said in a statement released after a video-conference on Monday.
The EPP urged the European Commission to pursue this humanitarian question in the current and future relations with Azerbaijan and called on the European Parliament to urgently discuss the process of exchange of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) prisoners of war and captives.
During the meeting via video-conference, the EPP PA members also discussed the ongoing coronavirus situation and Alexei Navalny’s arrest.
