Seeing disturbing reports of intensified fighting in Nagorno-#Karabakh but information very limited and Twitter generally only has propagandists for one side or the other. Be very wary of what you share re #Armenia & #Azerbaijan today.
Here's a fresh BBC summary of statements from #Armenia and #Azerbaijan re renewed fighting in #NagornoKarabakh:

Much unverified info on Twitter about this, so again, please don't share anything that's not confirmed by a known, reliable source.
To those who asked, thanks but no, we won't be commenting on any specific claims until we can verify them.

I will only say personally - having been to the region for work on a number of occasions in the past, and having friends on both sides - I'm deeply worried about what's happening now and what happens next, and I desperately hope cooler heads prevail.
Foreign Minister of The Netherlands...
"International Committee of the Red Cross is concerned about the humanitarian impact of the conflict escalation along the line of contact, which started in the morning of 27 September 2020. There are civilians among the casualties reported on both sides."

Statement from @amnesty on #NagornoKarabakh #Armenia #Azerbaijan
All attacks targeting civilians are serious violations of international humanitarian law, including reprisals for similar attacks by the adversary.
In short: War crimes do not justify war crimes.
