The legislature of the autonomous community urged the parties to resume negotiations for reaching a peaceful solution to the conflict, which should be "based on the will of the majority of the citizens of Artsakh." The document condemned the shelling and bombing of settlements, in particular Azerbaijan's use of cluster munitions to target towns and villages. An Amnesty International investigation has confirmed the use of banned Israeli-made M095 DPICM cluster munitions against civilians in Karabakh. The Parliament of Catalonia expressed support for the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group. Azerbaijan, with help from Turkey and Syrian and Libyan mercenaries deployed by Ankara, started a war against Karabakh (Artsakh) in the morning of September 27.
