SHERMAN STATEMENT ON KILLING OF SECOND ARMENIAN SOLDIER IN UNPROVOKED ATTACK
BYLINE: States News Service
WASHINGTON
The following information was released by the office of California
Rep. Brad Sherman:
Representative Brad Sherman (D-CA) released the following statement on
the unprovoked killing of an Armenian soldier, Armen Hovannisyan, by
Azeri forces along the border of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Just four days before a meeting scheduled between Azerbaijans and
Armenias Foreign Ministers to discuss a peaceful resolution to the
conflict between Azerbaijan and the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh,
Azeri forces have tragically killed yet another Armenian soldier in an
unprovoked attack on the Arstakh and Azerbaijan border. As I stated
last December when an Armenian soldier was killed, Azerbaijan
continues to show that it is not serious about establishing peaceful
relations with Artsakh and repeatedly creates obstacles to the peace
process.
Azerbaijan and its forces must be held accountable for these ruthless
displays of violence. I have been a longtime advocate for a peaceful
resolution of the conflict between Azerbaijan and Karabakh and the
recognition of the independent Republic of Karabakh.
