Senator Reed: Azerbaijan's actions do nothing to further lasting peace in Nagorno-Karabakh
Azerbaijan’s actions do nothing to further a lasting and durable peace in Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh), Senator Jack Reed said in a tweet on Friday.
“I am deeply troubled by reports of a return to violence in Nagorno-Karabakh, especially the loss of life. For the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense to release footage of their air strike, as though it is something to be proud of, is reprehensible,” he tweeted.
“These actions do nothing to further a lasting, durable peace in Nagorno-Karabakh which is the only path to stability and security in the region. I urge an immediate cessation of violence and return to the ceasefire agreed to in November of 2020,” Reed added.
Two Artsakh servicemen were killed and 19 others were injured in the August 3 Azerbaijani attack.
