US Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez has described as “deeply concerning” the reports of Armenian casualties and Armenian soldiers taken as political prisoners by Azerbaijan as a result of the latter's attack on the eastern border of Armenia on Tuesday.
Menendez's respective statement has been posted on the Twitter account of the aforesaid committee.
“Reports of Armenian casualties and Armenian soldiers taken as political prisoners by Azerbaijan are deeply concerning. Defense aid to Azerbaijan helps enable these heinous acts against ethnic Armenians. It is time to pass my NDAA [(National Defense Authorization Act)] amendment cutting this aid,” Menendez has noted.
