Words must be met with actions and the Azerbaijani president
must be held responsible for his campaign of ethnic cleansing in Artsakh. U.S.
Congressman Frank Pallone said this, referring to the phone call between U.S.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.
“Secretary Blinken is rightfully calling for an end to the
blockade of the Lachin Corridor, but these words must be met with meaningful
action. Especially, as the humanitarian crisis in Artsakh continues to worsen,”
Pallone wrote on his X page.
According to the congressman, peace in the Caucasus will
continue to be evasive if Aliyev is not held responsible for Azerbaijan’s
aggression against the Armenian people.
“There must be real consequences for Aliyev’s crimes against
humanity and his deliberate campaign of ethnic cleansing in Artsakh,” he wrote.
