(Prensa Armenia).- A number of politicians from Uruguay and Argentina expressed their support for Armenia after the news of the escalation of the conflict with Azerbaijan.
The Frente Amplio party of Uruguay issued a statement in which they expressed their "total disapproval of the warlike actions carried out by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces against the Republic of Armenia", the "rejection of the expressions of the Turkish government in which they supported the actions of Azerbaijan” and marked their solidarity with Armenia on July 17.
The Nagorno-Karabakh Forum in Uruguay issued a declaration in which they “repudiate and strongly condemn the armed aggression of Azerbaijan to the Republic of Armenia, demand the immediate cessation of all acts of violence against the Armenian people and call for full respect for international law” . "With great concern we warn of the danger of larger-scale military aggression and of a regional war reaching the Armenian people of the Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). It is indisputable that the attacks by Azerbaijan threaten the efforts of the international community to guarantee the right to peace in the region," they said.
The Senator of Uruguay, Liliam Kechichian, raised the issue in Congress: “I have just raised in the Senate of our country the enormous concern about the attacks that since July 12 the sovereign territory of Armenia is suffering from Azerbaijan, violating the agreements of Vienna and Saint Petersburg and generating instability in the region,” said Kechichian.
The Argentine Senator and ex-Chancellor Jorge Taiana said in declarations to Diario ARMENIA that "we view with extreme concern the recent armed incidents on the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan and the loss of life." "Argentina supports the political process to guarantee peace led by the Minsk Group created within the framework of the Organization for Cooperation and Security in Europe (OSCE)," he added. "This process, which was accepted by both countries, was deteriorated in recent months due to Azeri aggressions."

Ester Mkrtumyan, Ambassador of Armenia in Argentina and concurrent in Uruguay, Chile, Paraguay and Peru, also referred to the current conflict: “Turkey supports Azerbaijan with the warlike statements of the President and his Minister of Defense. The Vice Minister of Defense of Azerbaijan declared that they were going to bomb the Armenian atomic plant, something that would not only affect Armenia but also the entire region, since it is 70 km from the Nakhichevan border and close to Turkey itself”.
