The KKW Beauty mogul added: 'Civilian structures in Armenia have been targeted, and Azerbaijan has now threatened to bomb the nuclear power plant in Armenia.'
'In the meantime, congressional amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act will be voted on next week to ensure that the US does not enable Azerbaijan with military aid that would be used against Armenia and Artsakh,' she further explained.
Then, she urged the international community to 'pay attention and intervene' with political and diplomatic measures to 'prevent unnecessary escalation and the loss of human life.'
