YEREVAN, JUNE 21, ARMENPRESS. The European Parliament fully supports the idea of sending an international fact-finding mission to the Lachin Corridor. ARMENPRESS reports, the chairperson of the Security and Defense Subcommittee of the European Parliament Nathalie Loiseau said during a press conference, answering the question whether the issue of sending a fact-finding team to the Lachin Corridor was discussed with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan as part of her visit to Armenia, and whether she currently sees such an opportunity?

"First, there is a decision of the International Court of Justice regarding the unblocking of the Lachin Corridor, which must be properly implemented. Second, the European Parliament fully supports the idea of sending a fact-finding mission.

The European Parliament also welcomes the idea of an international presence in general to fully protect the rights and interests of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh.

We are also completely in favor of a UN Security Council resolution being adopted. And the sooner, the better it will be if the members of the UN Security Council prepare a draft of such a resolution," said Loiseau.
