Statement by Council of Europe of Secretary General Jagland:
“I am dismayed and deeply concerned by the escalation of hostilities at the contact line in the շ conflict zone.
The Council of Europe urges both sides to stop this totally unnecessary bloodshed which leads nowhere except to further violence and loss of lives including of many civilians.
I urge the parties to protect the right to life as guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights and return to the ceasefire and resume peaceful negotiations. This is a humanitarian imperative”
