US AWARE OF ARMENIAN PROVOCATION ON FRONT LINE
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.
