US CONGRESSMEN CONCERNED OVER AZERBAIJAN’S CONTINUED MILITARY BUILDUP

13:32 – 17.03.2012

Members of the U.S. Congress have issued statements to commemorate the
victims of pogroms by Azerbaijani nationalists against the republic’s
Armenian population in 1988-1990.

Representatives Frank Wolf, Judy Chu, David Cicilline, Anna Eshoo ,
Adam Schiff, Howard Berman, Brad Sherman, Michael Burgess, Frank
Pallone, Jr., Robert J. Dold , and Jim Costa have condemned the
atrocities, and reiterated that crimes against humanity should not
go unrecognized.

The members of the US Congress expressed concern over Azerbaijan’s
continued military buildup and a continued warmongering, which
undermines the regional stability and jeopardizes international
efforts to find a settlement to the Azerbaijan – Artsakh confrontation.

NKR representative in the USA Robert Avetisyan thanked members of
the Congress for their critical support of Artsakh’s freedom. In
his letter, Avetisyan stressed that the statements by the members
of the US Congress commemorating the victims of the atrocities,
when hundreds of innocent civilians were tortured to death just for
being Armenians, has sent a strong signal to the perpetrators that
“the racism and genocidal actions do not have time limitation”
