U.S. Congressman Adam Schiff denounced the Azerbaijani attack on the Armenian positions along the eastern border section on Tuesday, urging the United States to do everything possible to deter Azerbaijan’s aggression.

“I am deeply disturbed by today’s reports of Azerbaijani forces attacking Armenian soldiers at the border, including the reported murder or illegal detainment of more than two dozen Armenian soldiers. This unprovoked attack is in direct violation of Azerbaijan and Armenia’s ceasefire agreement, and a grave reminder that the United States must be doing everything we can to deter Azerbaijan’s ongoing aggression,” he said in a statement.

“I urge the State Department to act immediately to use every diplomatic channel and lever available to avert another mass humanitarian disaster and show our unwavering support for the Armenian people and their sovereignty,” Rep. Schiff noted.
