French MP says Azerbaijan’s crimes should be documented for strong evidence

Member of the French National Assembly Anne-Laurence Petel said that the crimes committed by the Azerbaijani authorities in Artsakh should be documented to have strong evidence, Armenpress reported.

“Of course, many French-Armenians have been presenting videos showing what they describe as crimes committed by the Azerbaijanis in Nagorno-Karabakh against the peaceful population, but nevertheless it is highly important for these episodes to be documented, to mention where and when exactly these crimes were committed, in order to have a strong evidence basis to help us raise this and take effective countermeasures,” Petel said at a meeting with forcibly displaced persons in Goris.

The French MP noted that a discussion has taken place in the French parliament on the repatriation of Armenian prisoners of war and the arbitrary arrests of the Artsakh officials by Azerbaijan.

According to Petel, a meeting with the participation of the European Commission President has also taken place on this matter and the latter has asked the list of all arrested officials and prisoners of war.
