Mr. Chair, the clashes that took place in July 2020 did take place against a backdrop of rising and falling tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, which have lasted for many years. This particular flare-up in July, while of concern, did not at that time appear to be taking on what we would see down the road, a few months later, as a very significant outbreak of violence and conflict between the two sides.
On April 13th, 2021. See this statement in context.
