U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez accused the establishment of a checkpoint by Azerbaijan in Lachin Corridor.
“This Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the 1.5 million Armenians who were systematically murdered by the Ottoman Empire. Immensely proud to have led Senate recognition and that President of United States joined us in affirming the facts of this ultimate evil.
As we stand with the Armenian community worldwide, we turn our attention to Nagorno-Karabakh. I condemn Azerbaijan's Lachin Corridor checkpoint, which threatens to exacerbate Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians' acute humanitarian crisis. It's time to halt security assistance to Baku”.
