Congressman Brad Sherman Statement on Azerbaijan’s latest aggression towards Armenia

September 13, 2022

Washington, D.C. – Azerbaijan's aggression towards Armenia, including the shelling of 3 towns within Armenia's internationally recognized border, is an outrage. The U.S. must enforce Section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act and cease military sales to Azerbaijan immediately.

The UN or the OSCE should consider the placement of gunfire detection systems within Armenia's border to detect and localize small arms and artillery firing and hold those who break negotiated ceasefires accountable. There must be a peaceful resolution in Nagorno-Karabakh.
