YEREVAN, JULY 14, ARMENPRESS. Member of Parliament of the Netherlands, Co-Chair of the Armenia-Netherlands friendship circle Joël Voordewind condemned the attack launched by Azerbaijan against Armenia.

“It’s good that the UN condemns the Azerbaijani shelling against Armenia. This can lead to a new war around Nagorno Karabakh. I hope the OSCE can mediate and restore peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan”, the Dutch MP said on Twitter.

The Azerbaijani armed forces launched an attack on an Armenian military base located in Tavush province on July 12, using artillery, mortars and UAVs. In addition, the Azerbaijani side also shelled the town of Chinari in the province with mortars, damaging civilian homes. On July 14 the Azerbaijani armed forces continued targeting the civilian infrastructures of the Armenian town of Berd, using an attacking drone.
