Greta Thunberg urges release of Armenians in Azerbaijan

Climate activist Greta Thunberg has called for the release of Armenian prisoners of war held in Azerbaijan, following the recent conflict between the two countries.

Thunberg made the appeal in a statement posted on her social media accounts, in which she said that she was "deeply concerned" about the plight of the Armenian prisoners. She said that they were being held in "inhumane conditions" and that some had been subjected to torture.

The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan began in 2020 over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. The war ended with a ceasefire agreement in November 2020, but tensions between the two countries remain high.

Thunberg's statement comes as international pressure mounts on Azerbaijan to release the Armenian prisoners. The European Parliament has passed a resolution calling for their release, and the United States has also urged Azerbaijan to comply with its international obligations.

Thunberg's appeal is likely to put further pressure on Azerbaijan to release the prisoners. She is a high-profile figure with a large following, and her statement is likely to draw attention to the issue.

The release of the Armenian prisoners would be a significant step towards easing tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan. It would also be a victory for human rights activists who have been calling for the prisoners' release.
