Question 8069 — foreign policy

Summary

Mrs Sarah Tanzilli draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the repeated transgressions of international law by the Azerbaijani State. While both chambers of the French Parliament voted in November 2022 two resolutions condemning Azerbaijani aggression, urging Baku to put an end to the illicit occupation of the territory of the Republic of Armenia and highlighting a possibility of taken sanctions against the leaders of this State, Azerbaijan continues this occupation and regularly carries out one-off operations which allow it to increase the surface area of ​​the territories it occupies. On February 22, 2023, the International Court of Justice ordered Azerbaijan to restore free movement along the Lachin corridor cut off since December 12, 2022 under false ecological pretexts, generating a total blockade of the Armenian enclave of Artsakh and depriving its 120,000 inhabitants of any supply of food and medicine, in total contradiction with the agreement of November 9, 2020 which put an end to the 44-day war. This decision was not implemented by the Azerbaijani authorities. Worse still, on Sunday April 23, 2023, on the eve of the commemorations of the 1915 Armenian genocide, Azerbaijan, with the agreement of Russia, officially installed a command post on the Latchin corridor, perpetuating its decision to subject the inhabitants of this territory to fatal asphyxiation. Faced with the manifest desire of the Azerbaijani authorities to continue to seriously violate international humanitarian law, its international commitments, international justice decisions, in the face of the vital threat weighing on the Armenian civilian populations of Artsakh and Armenia, it wishes to know what consequences it intends to draw from these manifest violations of international law and whether it plans in particular to implement the requests for sanctions issued by Parliament against the Azerbaijani leaders, in particular the freezing of their assets on French territory.
