ArmInfo.The Congress of Deputies of Spain (Spanish: Congreso de los Diputados-Lower House of Parliament), as a sign of solidarity with Armenia, did not ratify the international agreement signed with Azerbaijan.
According to El Confidencial, the agreement, signed in Madrid in December 2021, provides for the exchange and mutual protection of classified information.
MP Marta Rosique shamed the Spanish government for its silence in the face of Azerbaijani aggression against Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. She also criticized the fact that so far Spain has not recognized such an atrocity as Genocide. "Instead, we find agreements like this," she lamented.
In turn, MP Eloy Suarez recalled that at the beginning of last month, Congress adopted a resolution condemning the Azerbaijani aggression against Armenia, which resulted in the death of more than 200 people in September.
As a result of voting on the ratification of the document, 174 MPs voted against, 132 - in favor.
