“This increase of deadly violence against Armenia will only continue unless usosce, StateDept, and the international community take immediate and decisive diplomatic action,” the US Congressman added on Twitter.

Azerbaijan's escalation of violence on Armenian soil is unacceptable. US Congressman Frank Pallone, who co-chairs the Congressional Armenian Caucus, noted this on Twitter.

“This increase of deadly violence against Armenia will only continue unless usosce, StateDept, and the international community take immediate and decisive diplomatic action.

“Claims that both sides are at fault ignore the fact that Azeri troops are attacking within the sovereign territory of Armenia and terrorizing innocent civilians. This is a purposeful violation of international law that will only further embolden [Azerbaijani president] Aliyev if he is not stopped,” Pallone added.
