Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) News Release
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 -- Rep. Brad Sherman issued the following
statement:
Representative Brad Sherman (D-CA) released the following statement
on the unprovoked killing of an Armenian soldier, Hrant Poghosyan,
by Azerbaijani forces along the border of Nagorno-Karabakh.
"Azerbaijan has yet again shown that it is not serious about
establishing peaceful relations with Armenia and Artsakh. Despite
the request for a ceasefire during the Organization for Security
and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group negotiations between
Armenia and Azerbaijan, Azeri forces have killed an Armenian solider,
Hrant Poghosyan. The shooting was unprovoked and Armenian forces have
respected the request for a ceasefire.
"Azerbaijan's actions continue to harm the cause of peace. Last year,
Azerbaijan celebrated a murderer, Ramil Safarov, who violently killed
an Armenian soldier during a NATO Partnership for Peace exercise.
Azerbaijan and its forces must be held accountable for this latest
display of violence towards Armenia and lack of respect for the
OSCE's settlement negotiations. I will continue to stand by Artsakh
and Armenia in their ongoing quest for peace and security."
