The U.S. Must Immediately Halt All Security Assistance to Azerbaijan: Menendez

I am deeply concerned about reports of Azerbaijani attacks on Armenian territory. This was written on Twitter by Bob Menendez, the chairman of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

“Shelling of Armenian cities and civilian populations is illegal and unacceptable. The world must stand against authoritarian brutality. The U.S. must immediately halt all security assistance to Azerbaijan,” he stated.

It is noteworthy that on September 13, at 00:05 AM, Azerbaijani armed forces began intensive firing in the directions of Goris, Sotk, and Jermuk using artillery and large-caliber firearms against Armenian positions. The adversary is also employing drones. The intense exchange of fire initiated as a result of Azerbaijan's large-scale provocations is ongoing. The armed forces of Armenia are responding appropriately. The Ministry of Defense reports that the Armenian side has casualties and injuries, with details being clarified.
