• Calls on the Commission to reconsider the ‘strategic partnership’ with Azerbaijan in the field of energy in light of the country’s alarming human rights record
• Stresses that the release of all political prisoners is an indispensable condition for signing any future partnership agreement with the EU
• Reiterates its call for EU sanctions under the EU Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime to be imposed on Azerbaijani officials who have committed serious human rights violations
