The latest from @SecPompeo on Artsakh:
- Calls on "all parties" to respect int'l law
- Urges "all sides" to re-engage w/ the OSCE process
- Commits $5M in aid to assist "people affected by fighting"
Another vapid statement that fails to hold Az. accountable for its aggression.

The statement continues to draw a false equivalency between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In doing so, it fails to condemn Azerbaijan's war crimes and its role as the aggressor.
More of the @StateDept's tired talking points. Throwing around buzzwords like "non-use of force", "territorial integrity" and "self-determination" without acknowledging Azerbaijan's violation of all three - or what the U.S. is going to do to uphold those principles.
Finally, $5 million in aid is a joke. And to say "those affected by the fighting" is frankly offensive - the administration can't even bring itself to acknowledge that 100,000 ARMENIANS from ARTSAKH have been displaced. It's dehumanizing.
But most importantly, the United States doesn't actually say what it's going to do.
Statements aren't enough. Calling on "both sides" to "re-engage" isn't enough. 5 million in aid isn't enough. This is what we're asking the U.S. to do:
