”The resistance is legitimate and we defend the right to self-determination and freedom together with Artzakh Armenians. We refuse to abandon the Armenian people of Artzakh who are facing aggression from their powerful neighbor. Azerbaijan must withdraw its armies from the territories it illegally occupies and the international community cannot compromise with this fundamental demand. The Friendship Group of Nagorno-Karabakh in the European Parliament fraternally greets the Armenians of Artzakh. We share the same ideal of freedom, and today, on this day of celebration of their nation, we are close to them.”
