Senator Menendez calls for sanctions against Aliyev regime
U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, took to the Senate floor on Monday to warn that Azerbaijan's blockade of Artsakh has all the hallmarks of genocide and pledged to hold Azerbaijan accountable.
The senator called on the Biden Administration to enforce Section 907 and stop all security assistance to Azerbaijan. He went on to call for sanctions against the Aliyev regime for war crimes and ethnic cleansing, ANCA reported.
"To the men organizing and carrying out this brutal campaign, we will hold you accountable for your crimes, even if it takes a lifetime – you will pay a price, you will face justice – and I certainly will not rest until you do so,” stated Menendez.
