The return of Artsakh people to their homeland is essential for peace  between Armenia and Azerbaijan

ArmInfo. The united return of the people of Artsakh to their homeland through genuine negotiations between representatives of Azerbaijan and Artsakh is important for  the establishment of lasting peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan.  This was mentioned in the statement by the Committee for the Defense  of Fundamental Rights of the People of Artsakh on the resolution of  the European Parliament on October 24, 2024. 

In this regard, the Committee emphasized that it welcomes the  "Resolution on the Situation in Azerbaijan, Violations of Human  Rights and International Law and Relations with Armenia", which  reveals the appalling human rights situation in Azerbaijan, disregard  for international law and aggressive militaristic behavior towards  the region and Armenia. "We particularly welcome the European  Parliament's call for the full implementation of the decisions made  by the International Court of Justice and for engaging in  constructive dialogue with the representatives of the people of  Artsakh. This will guarantee their safe, dignified and prompt return  to their historical homeland, the release of all Armenian captives  and political prisoners held in Azerbaijan, and the preservation of  Armenian property and cultural monuments," the statement reads.

At the same time, the Committee expressed hope that the European  Union will also work towards providing a platform for the initiation   of these important negotiations, ensuring that the process is under  international control.  "The EU's role is important in promoting  dialogue and a peaceful resolution of the ongoing crisis. It will  open the way for the safe return of the people of Artsakh with  international guarantees and the full realization of their  fundamental rights," the statement concluded.
