20-year old Junior Sergeant Armen Hovhannisyan gave his life in service of his nation this week, blocking an Azerbaijani incursion into Artsakh territory in the early morning hours of January 20th, giving his fellow soldiers enough time to stop the attack.
“Azerbaijan’s latest fatal cross-border attack underscores – painfully and profoundly – the ongoing human cost of the international community’s failure to either meaningfully confront or constrain Baku’s march toward a renewed Caucasus war,” commented ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian.
“At the very least, this should serve as a wake-up call to Congress here in Washington to cut-off all military aid to Azerbaijan.”
