1/3 🧵
#Azerbaijan is not a "trustworthy" partner as @vonderleyen claimed. 🇦🇿 attacked 🇦🇲#Armenia's border in the midst of the 🇪🇺 #EU-led mediation. Slap in our face!
Without credible checks, #Aliyev will continue his "might makes right" policy.
I’ve been playing with Google Bard for a while today and I never thought I’d say this, but… Bing is way ahead of Google right now (at this specific chat feature)
BREAKING: Azerbaijani armed forces began firing at Armenian positions towards the eastern direction of the Azerbaijani-Armenian border using mortars and large caliber weapons.
Hoping this bipartisan legislation -- condemning #Azerbaijan's unprovoked attack on #Armenia, calling for the end to U.S. security assistance to Azerbaijan, urging the release of Armenian POWs, and exploring sanctions against Azerbaijan for war crimes -- passes 100-0. @ANCA_DC
Proud to introduce a Senate resolution condemning Azerbaijan's renewed military assault on Armenia & horrifying show of disregard for human life.
Time for the US to match words of support with robust action by halting military assistance to Azerbaijan.

Two years ago Azerbaijan launched an unprovoked war against Artsakh with the help of Turkey. I stand with my Armenian Caucus colleagues in condemning the ongoing horrific acts of violence perpetrated by Azeri forces against civilians & pledging our support for the Artsakh people.
Today, I hosted @HikmetHajiyev and @ArmenGrigoryanC for direct and constructive talks. We discussed the importance of avoiding further violence and pursuing time-bound and focused negotiations. We also identified concrete steps forward in support of a stable and lasting peace.
For years, Azerbaijan used claims of “occupation” to justify its assault on the indigenous Armenians of Artsakh.
Now, Azerbaijan has invaded & occupied sovereign Armenian territory.
For Baku, this was never about land. It’s only ever been about eradicating the Armenian people.
Will Europeans accept to be heated by gas from a reliable partner like Azerbaijan even if this gas has the price of the lives of 1000s of young Arm soldiers who defened their country against the aggression of this dictatorial country& perished the silence of Europe?
@vonderleyen
The same day Azerbaijan launched a cross-border attack on Armenia, Azerbaijan’s Energy Minister bragged that AZ gas exports to Europe will increase by 30% this year.
❗️ATTENTION
Azerbaijan’s Dictator wants to grab another piece of #Artsakh#NagornoKarabakh while the 🌏 is focused on #UkraineWar. Several Armenian villages have been under Azerbaijani shelling for several days. The goal is to take these villages along with Karmir Shuka road. 1/
Can't shake the ominous similarities I feel between the stories of heroic Ukrainian resistance and those from the Armenian side in the early days of Karabakh 2020. In both cases they obscured the reality: that the war was not going well and was going to get much worse soon.
