Luxembourg continues to call on Azerbaijan to release all Armenian prisoners of war, following the six-week war against Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) in fall 2020, the country's Foreign Ministry said in a tweet on Friday, May 28.

"Recent developments on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border are both dangerous and worrying. Immediate de-escalation is needed. We continue to call on Azerbaijan to release all prisoners of war and detainees without delay," the Foreign Ministry of Luxembourg wrote.

It also attached the statement from the European Union, which expressed the bloc's readiness to provide expertise and help to Armenia and Azerbaijan on border delimitation and demarcation.

On the morning of May 12, the armed forces of Azerbaijan violated the border of Armenia in the southern province of Syunik, advancing 3.5 kilometers and surrounding Sev Lake, which is situated on the border between the two countries but is predominantly a part of Armenia. On May 13, the Azerbaijani military committed more border violations against Armenia, advancing near Vardenis (Gegharkunik province) and Sisian (Syunik province). One Armenian serviceman was killed in Azerbaijan’s shooting on May 25, while six others were captured on May 27.
