The United States is deeply disturbed by recent reports of Azerbaijani soldiers executing unarmed Armenian prisoners of war, Department of State spokesperson Ned Price said on Monday, October 3.

“We call for a full and impartial investigation. Those responsible for any atrocities must be held to account,” Price said.

In footage published online over the weekend, Azerbaijani troops are seen murdering several unarmed Armenian prisoners of war.

The latest round of fighting between the two countries began in the wee hours of September 13, when the Azerbaijani military attacked Armenian posts and shelled Armenian settlements both on the border and deep behind the frontline. More than 200 people are dead or missing as a result, the Security Council of Armenia said on Monday.
