The Parliament of Azerbaijan condemned the resolution of the European Parliament, which calls on Baku to immediately open the Lachin Corridor.

This was reported by the press service of the legislative body.

Azerbaijani MPs called the resolution of the European Parliament "biased and unfair", and its authors - "incapable of moving away from the policy of double standards".

"We express our protest against the biased and unfair resolution adopted by the European Parliament on January 19 in a special order and resolutely reject the baseless accusations based on lies and fabricated information," the statement reads.

Earlier, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the issue of the Lachin Corridor, in which it calls on Azerbaijan to immediately open the only road connecting Nagorno-Karabakh to the outside world, and to refrain from disrupting transport, energy and communication links between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.

Representatives of the European Union legislative body also condemn the inaction of Russian peacekeepers, call on the UN or OSCE to send a fact-finding mission to the Lachin Corridor and call on the parties to resume peace talks.

The Lachin Corridor is the only road connecting Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia.

According to the terms of the agreement signed after the end of the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan in 2020, the Lachin district came under the control of Baku, and the corridor came under the observation of Russian peacekeepers.

In mid-December, Azerbaijani activists blocked the road.

According to information from the Azerbaijani side, these are environmentalists who oppose, in their opinion, the illegal mining of natural resources in the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh by the Armenian authorities.

Yerevan claims that after the closure of the road in the Lachin Corridor to Nagorno-Karabakh, supplies of food and vital goods have stopped, and the region is close to a humanitarian crisis.

The head of the government of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, issued a statement in which he accused the Russian peacekeepers of inaction.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan previously stated that Yerevan deliberately misleads international partners in order to continue illegal activities on the territory of Azerbaijan.
