Aliyev regime seems determined to wipe out the historic Armenian presence in the region – Senator Peters

I am deeply troubled by the deteriorating situation in Nagorno Karabakh. U.S. Senator Gary Peters wrote in his X microblog.

“The loss of life is devastating, and the Aliyev regime seems determined to wipe out the historic Armenian presence in the area.

The U.S., and our allies, must act now to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe,” he wrote.

Azerbaijan՛s Armed Forces unleashed military aggression against Nagorno Karabakh, using artillery and other heavy weapons as of 1 p.m. on September 19. They attempted to penetrate into the depth of the defense line of the Defense Forces of Nagorno Karabakh.

Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno Karabakh, has come under heavy shelling now. The Human Rights Defender of Nagorno Karabakh, Gegham Stepanyan, reported that there are multiple casualties and injuries among civilians, including children.
