The latest Azeri cease-fire violations have resulted in over 20 reported deaths, including a 12-year-old boy, and over 70 wounded. In addition, Azerbaijan continues to target villagers in the Tavush region of Armenia, including a kindergarten, the Armenian Assembly of America says in a statement.

“Azerbaijan must be held accountable for these gross violations of human rights and international law. Further, the United States should stand with the citizens of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic in their struggle for self-determination as they defend themselves from another genocidal act. We cannot stand on the sidelines as one of the most corrupt dictators in the world (Azerbaijani President IlhamAliyev: editor) continues to blatantly violate the 1994 OSCE brokered cease-fire and takes aim at our brothers and sisters in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh,” the statement says.

It is stressed that the United States has an important role to play and must stand in solidarity with the people of Artsakh and their right to defend themselves. The organization calls on everyone who is not indifferent to the fate of Nagorno-Karabakh people to send an email asking their Representative and Senators to support Nagorno-Karabakh’s self-defense.
