Yashar Aliyev, Azerbaijani Ambassador to US met Tuesday with Principal
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs
Kurt Volker. Ambassador informed Kurt Volker about the fact that
Armenian armed forces shattered the ceasefire, subjecting to gunfire
the positions of Azerbaijani armed forces.
According to him, by violating the ceasefire, Armenia wanted to divert
the international community's attention from domestic political
crisis. The US National Security Council was also advised of the
"cease-fire breach" by Armenia.
Azerbaijani community in US expressed its concern over the frontline
situation. The Azerbaijan-American Council of California condemned,
in its statement, the provocation of the Armenian authorities against
Azerbaijan. The statement says this is the attempt to divert the
international community's attention from Armenia's international and
economic isolation, civil rights violation, suppression of free media
and crackdown on opposition activists.
American Azerbaijanis hope that Armenia will end provocations,
and support the resolution of Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over
Nagorno-Karabakh based on the international law.
Approximately 15 thousand members of the Armenian Diaspora in
Los-Angeles held rallies to protest against human rights violation
and election fraud in Armenia.
