AZERBAIJAN, PELLEGRINI (M5S): CROSETTO SPIEGHI MILITARY SUPPLIES

“I presented a parliamentary question to Defense Minister Crosetto to ask him to account for the news that speak of negotiations for military supplies to Azerbaijan. Despite the cessation of hostilities following the defeat of Armenian separatists in Nagorno-Karabakh by Azerbaijani government troops, negotiations between the parties are ongoing but a peace treaty has not yet been signed. As a result, Azerbaijan is still in a state of conflict. This, in addition to the human rights violations committed by Baku with the humanitarian blockade imposed for almost a year on the Armenian population of the enclave who are now fleeing for fear of ethnic cleansing, leads us to ask Defense if it does not consider military supplies to be the subject of negotiations between Rome and Baku contrary to Italian law 185 of 1990 which prohibits the sale of weapons to countries in a state of conflict or responsible for serious violations of human rights”.
This was declared by MP Marco Pellegrini, group leader of the 5 Star Movement in the Montecitorio Defense Commission, the first signatory of the question.
