Bob Menendez, head of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, wrote on his Twitter microblog: "I am deeply concerned about reports of Azerbaijani attacks on the territory of Armenia."
"The shelling of Armenian cities and civilians is illegal and unacceptable. The world must resist authoritarian brutality. The US should immediately stop all security support to Azerbaijan."
It should be noted that on September 13, at 00:05, the units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces began to fire intensively from artillery and large-caliber rifles in the direction of Goris, Sotk and Jermuk in the direction of the Armenian positions. The enemy also uses ATS. The intense skirmish started due to large-scale provocation by the Azerbaijani side. The armed forces of the Republic of Armenia gave an adequate response. The Ministry of Defense informs that the Armenian side has victims and wounded, verifying the data.
Deeply concerned by reports of Azerbaijani attacks on Armenian territory. Shelling Armenian towns & innocent civilians is illegal & unacceptable. The world must stand up to authoritarian brutality. The US must end all security assistance to Azerbaijan now. https://t.co/l2LB3DayJp
