Council of Europe

Presidency of the Committee of Ministers
Strasbourg
19 January 2023

Iceland's Minister for Foreign Affairs and President of the Council of Europe's Committee of Ministers, Thórdís Kolbrún Reykfjörd Gylfadóttir, has made the following statement:

"I am concerned about the increasingly precarious humanitarian situation of people living in Nagorno-Karabakh as a result of the month-long blockade of the Lachin corridor.

I call on the relevant authorities to quickly restore freedom of movement along the corridor to avoid further deterioration of the situation.

I call on all stakeholders to resolve their concerns through dialogue and remain ready to contribute to their efforts in this regard."
