US Congressman Frank Pallone calls for Aliyev to be held responsible for Azerbaijan’s aggression

US Congressman Frank Pallone believes that the words must be met with meaningful actions, referring to Secretary Antony Blinken’s call for an end of the blockade of the Lachin corridor.

“Secretary of State 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 (formerly Twitter) account.

The congressman stressed the importance of holding the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev accountable for his actions.

“There must be real consequences for Aliyev’s crimes against humanity and his deliberate campaign of ethnic cleansing in Artsakh. Peace in the Caucasus will continue to be evasive if Aliyev is not held responsible for Azerbaijan’s aggression against the Armenian people.”
