European Parliament calls for sanctions on Azerbaijan

  • Yerevan was ready to sign a “landmark document” with Baku before Azerbaijan’s Ilham Aliyev pulled out of a planned meeting today, Armenia’s Nikol Pashinyan said.
  • Germany’s Olaf Scholz spoke by phone with Aliyev to reiterate his support for an Armenia-Azerbaijan negotiating track coordinated by the European Union.
  • The European Parliament voted overwhelmingly to adopt a non-binding resolution calling for the EU to step up support for Armenia and impose sanctions on Azerbaijan.
  • The Armenian government set aside $19 million to support the more than 100,000 people forcibly displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh.
  • A group of unidentified individuals vandalized Armenia’s only synagogue.
