I have warned for months that Azerbaijan was openly implementing a genocidal campaign against the innocent civilians of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), US Congressman Adam Schiff wrote in
X (former Twitter).
“Today, Azerbaijan proved itself once again to be a ruthless aggressor, launching unprovoked attacks in Artsakh that have destroyed a school, killed at least one child and 24 adults, and injured more than 100 others.
We must halt ethnic cleansing and stop a second Armenian Genocide. I call on the Biden Administration to take immediate action:
First, President Biden should personally call Aliyev at once and demand he stop all military action against Artsakh.
Second, we must Immediately implement U.S. sanctions to hold the Azerbaijani aggressors accountable, including using tools such as Global Magnitsky and 7031c sanctions.
Third, we must immediately halt any and all U.S. assistance to Azerbaijan.
Finally, demand the immediate deployment of independent monitors on the ground in Artsakh,” Schiff stated.
