Leaders of the Armenian Caucus at the US Congress condemn Azerbaijan's latest aggression in Armenia's Gegharkunik Province, demand the US State Department hold Azerbaijan president Aliyev regime accountable, and threaten sanctions to end ongoing atrocities. The Armenian National Committee of America informed about this on Facebook.

The full respective statement of these American lawmakers is as follows:

"We are alarmed by the ongoing actions of Azerbaijani forces on Armenian soil in the Gegharkunik region and surrounding area that have resulted in the death of an Armenian soldier and the reported kidnapping of six more. It is imperative that the State Department hold Aliyev accountable for his deadly aggressions. We will continue to work with the Biden Administration and our colleagues to ensure the United States is using every diplomatic tool we have, including sanctions, to end these atrocities, and plan to put forward a series of tangible actions the U.S. must take to secure peace and accountability."
