ArmInfo.A number of MEPs and journalists have responded to the killings of Armenian servicemen in Armenia's sovereign territory. 

"Oh media, France and the EU, what are you waiting for to act for  small and democratic Armenia? Mrs Ursula von der Leyen, are you  waiting for the Azeris and their Turkish allies to end the 1915  genocide? Is the blood of Armenians worth less than that of  Ukrainians?" French Senate members Valerie Boyer tweeted. 

"In other cases of torturing in AZE prisons we know already who is  involved. We know the names. We urgently need individual sanctions  against these perpetrators," MEP Viola von Cramon-Taubadel tweeted. 

"The savage images of Azerbaijani soldiers executing Armenian  prisoners of war are unacceptable. To perversely use the political  position that your [natural] gas gives you (in times of high global  costs) to carry out invasions and violate the Universal Declaration  of Human Rights (UDHR) human rights is doubly intolerable," Anton  Gomez-Reino, a member of the Congress of Deputies of Spain, tweeted. 

Jon Inarritu Gartzia, a member of the Congress of Deputies of Spain,  tweeted: 

"Once again, the barbarism of the Azerbaijani regime. Is this the  people with whom you signed agreements and consider reliable  partners, Mrs von der Leyen?" 

"Horrific. Impunity and lack of investigation of war crimes from the  2020 war is enabling new atrocities, now the apparent killing of  these seven unarmed Armenian men in the last Azerbaijan incursion.  Glad to see this EU response," British journalist Thomas de Waal  tweeted in response to a tweet by Toivo Klaar. 

Armenia's former FM Zohrab Mnatsakanyan tweeted: "The horrific video  of execution of Armenian POWs by Azeri aggressors   is a blow to EU,  US peace efforts. We are dealing with savages. Without actions  against Azeris no progress to expect. Sanctions, weapons and  de-occupation! Now!"
