British musician Elton John reacted to the hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh, posting a red square on Instagram in solidarity with the Armenians.

Now Armenia and Artsakh are under attack from unprovoked Azeri/Turkish aggression. Civilians are being targeted and there are needless deaths on both sides.

Armenians are beautiful people and they deserve lasting peace from years of historical persecution,” he wrote on his Instagram
