Canada is very concerned by the rise in hostilities between Armenia and Azerbaijan, including strikes against settlements and civilian infrastructure inside Armenia, Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly said in a Twitter post.

“We urge for de-escalation, full respect of the ceasefire and return to meaningful dialogue via the OSCE,” the Foreign Minister said.

On September 13, starting at 00:05, the Azerbaijani armed forces launched a major military attack in several directions against Armenia, primarily using artillery and UAVs. 49 Armenian troops were killed and 3 civilians were wounded in the Azerbaijani attack.
