Rep. Adam Schiff expresses solidarity with Artsakh

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA), has expressed solidarity with Artsakh.

“Yesterday, more than 3,000, including these fantastic interns from ANCA Western Region, gathered in front of the Azerbaijani Consulate on Wilshire to protest Baku’s attacks on Artsakh. We are all united for peace and justice. We are#ArtsakhStrong,” Rep. wrote as a caption to the photo he shared on Facebook.

Adam Schiff earlier released a statement condemning the Azerbaijani aggression against Nagorno Karabakh.

““Until Azerbaijan faces strong and meaningful consequences over their policy of escalation and violence and its self-serving refusal to agree to international monitoring of the Line of Contact, there is little chance of resolving the conflict and avoiding further bloodshed. The true victims of this policy are the people of Artsakh who simply want to live free of sniper fire and mortar barrages and to exercise their right of self-determination,” Schiff said in the statement.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
