“I want to warn the authorities of Azerbaijan, who have started a witch hunt against me, that you will neither frighten me nor silence me. Your attacks reveal your weakness. You have fallen below the law. But I will not go down. Following the example of Michelle Obama, I will say: when you go down, I go up.”
One of the authors of the resolution, and head of the delegation of relations with the South Caucasus in the European Parliament, Marina Kaljurand, said at the urgent debate-discussion entitled “The humanitarian consequences of the blockade in Nagorno-Karabakh.” in the plenary session of the European Parliament on January 18.
Stating that Azerbaijan, by keeping the Lachin corridor closed, has caused an acute humanitarian crisis, she also spoke about the incendiary and provocative high-level rhetoric of Azerbaijan.

Marina Kaljurand mentioned: “At the highest level, Armenians are told: either accept Azerbaijani citizenship or leave Nagorno Karabakh. These statements are unacceptable for a country that considers itself a reliable partner of the EU. I call on Azerbaijan to respect international commitments, stop the blockade of the Lachin Corridor, ensure the unhindered access of international organizations to Nagorno-Karabakh and start negotiations on a comprehensive peace agreement that will guarantee all the rights and security of the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh.”
