I strongly condemn this aggression and believe that U.S. assistance to Azerbaijan be cut off until it ceases its aggression: U.S. Congressman

Congressman Brad Sherman, a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement,

“The Azerbaijani aggression we have seen over the last few days is deeply disappointing. There are a number of new reports indicating that more than 100 Armenians have been killed as a result. Chairman Ed Royce and I urged that Azerbaijan use the opportunity provided by the recent Nuclear Security Summit to advance the peace process.

Instead, it appears that Azerbaijan’s president Ilham Aliyev launched new attacks against Nagorno-Karabakh. I strongly condemn this aggression and believe that U.S. assistance to Azerbaijan be cut off until it ceases its aggression, renounces violence, and commits to a purely peaceful resolution of the conflict.”
