Eduard Sharmazanov writes: “The United States House of Representatives to release the Armenian prisoners of war in Baku the call deserves a high and positive evaluation.

The Foreign Affairs Committee of the US House of Representatives called on Azerbaijan to release the Armenian prisoners of war held in Baku.

The commission voted in favor of Azerbaijan with 44 votes in favor and 7 “against”, calling on unconditional and immediate release of all Armenian hostages, amending H.R. In Bill 9087 (Law on Diplomatic Service of the House of Representatives).

This amendment was introduced by Congressman Brad Sherman (Democrat, California), the vice-chairman of the Armenian Affairs Committee of the Congress, with the support of the chairman of the committee, Brian Mast (Republican, Florida).

This initiative is extremely important and proves that there are figures in the ranks of both the Republican and Democratic parties in the USA who condemn this anti-humanist action by Baku.

The issue of the release of Armenian prisoners of war held in Baku should become the primary component of our state and nationwide political campaign.”
