Swiss MPs visit Azeri-hit Armenian resort town

PanARMENIAN.Net - Lawmakers from the National Council of the Swiss Confederation on Sunday, October 16 visited the resort town of Jermuk, which was heavily bombarded in Azerbaijan’s recent aggression against Armenia

“It hurt to see what the Azerbaijanis did here in Jermuk. They used a peaceful place for spreading terror among the people. It’s a horror for me to see all this,” said Stefan Müller-Altermatt, the Co-Chair of the Switzerland-Armenia Parliamentary Group.

The Azerbaijanis, using weapons of different caliber and distance, damaged the infrastructure of the city. Jermuk Resort, guest houses and roads were damaged too. The enemy also used cluster munitions, which are prohibited by the international Conventions.

“In Geneva we adopted a Resolution to condemn the Azerbaijani aggression of September 13-14. This is one level. Now, we must go further to the Federal Assembly: this is important. This is not only Switzerland, but also the whole Europe, because we share the same values – democracy, human rights and international law,” said lawmaker Michel Matter.

Stefan Müller-Altermatt highlighted the fact that they are in Jermuk shortly after the strikes. According to him, they stand not only with the colleagues of the parliament, but also with the whole country, the Armenian people.
