Ms President, thank you very much.

I also want to thank my colleagues Ms Petra Bayr and Mr Aleksander Pociej for noting Armenia's elections.

In a rather difficult period my people were able to wisely go to the elections and choose the government.

I'm glad that in Armenia democracy has won and that we remained on a democratic path, even after all of these hardships that were caused by the aggression of Azerbaijan against Artsakh or Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.

What I also want to thank you for is the discussion of Armenian POWs that we had in April. This is an important base that helped us to kind of have an international pressure and also dialogue with Azerbaijan to release the Armenian detainees. I hope that this work will be kept on. This is perhaps one of the last times I'm speaking in this hemicycle, but I am sure that you have those files to continue this conversation, this pressure, because that's something that helps: the necessity that we continue asking to have these people returned.

What Mr Samad Seyidov rightly mentioned was the international mediation, which was very important. What he also forgot to mention are two things.

In the progress report it should be noted that on 12 May for example Azerbaijani forces made an incursion on the sovereign territory of Armenia. All the international observers including the OSCE Minsk Group chairs such as Russia, US and France, called on withdrawing the Azerbaijani forces but they haven't. They still remain there. That doesn't help peace. That doesn't help to the understand of the territorial integrity that we have spoken so much about.

Another important issue that I want to mention: the POWs or the existence of detainees in Azerbaijan has been denied for a long time. Now we see that there are detainees. In fact in a recent rather provocative action, when Erdogan and Aliyev were visiting the occupied Shushi of Artsakh, they basically conversed about these detainees as if they were some kind of, you know, gambling chips. There's a conversation about that and my colleagues will speak more about it.

I really want us to remain humans and I really want to ask to have these humanitarian issues sorted out as fast as possible because that will help the region to gain some confidence in the peace and prosperity that shall come promptly.
