Anton Hofreiter, Chairman of the Committee on European Union Affairs in the German Bundestag (parliament), has urged the European Union (EU) to impose sanctions on Azerbaijan. He specifically mentioned the need to review natural gas supply contracts with Azerbaijan.
Hofreiter emphasized the urgency of the EU taking decisive action against Azerbaijan and cautioned against repeating the mistakes made in relations with Russia, where dependency on autocratic regimes led to inaction until serious conflicts emerged. He pointed to the gas supply agreements with Azerbaijan as an area where the EU should reconsider its position.
Additionally, Hofreiter called for an increase in the EU mission on the ground to protect Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh, indicating the need for greater involvement and intervention to ensure the safety of the Armenian population in the region.
