Rep. Adam Schiff
WASHINGTON--U.S. Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) on Tuesday condemned
the killing of an Artsakh Defense Army soldier on Monday by Azeri
forces along the border.
"The killing of yet another Karabkh soldier by Azeri forces is the
latest outrage perpetrated by Baku against the Armenian people and
I extend my condolences to the family and colleagues of the dead
soldier," Schiff said.
"This unprovoked and deadly violence against the people of Artsakh
and its people must stop. Yesterday's incident comes only weeks after
Azerbaijan shot down an unarmed NKR helicopter that was operating
inside the airspace of Nagorno Karabach and should serve to spur the
Minsk Group to redouble its efforts to mediate a peaceful solution
to a standoff that could erupt at any moment."
"I also urge Secretary of State John Kerry to take this issue up with
the Aliyev regime as soon as possible and before more innocent lives
are lost," Schiff said in his statement.
19-year-old Artsakh Defense Army serviceman Garik Ispiryan was shot
dead on Monday by Azeri forces firing in the direction of Armenian
positions at the eastern section of the border between Artsakh and
Azerbaijan.
