Washington, DC ` More than 30 members of the U.S. Congress co-signed a
letter to the Chairs and Ranking Members of the House and Senate
Appropriations Committees in support for a continued U.S. financial
assistance for Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.
The letter initiated by Co-Chair of the Congressional Caucus on
Armenian Issues Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) and Caucus member Frank
LoBiondo (R-NJ) welcomed the House’s attention to the situation in
Artsakh and backed the allocation of $10 million to address the
humanitarian consequences of the 1991-1994 Azerbaijani aggression.
NKR Representative to U.S. Robert Avetisyan thanked the Caucus members
for their staunch support for Artsakh. `The people and authorities of
the Nagorno Karabakh Republic are grateful to the members of the
American Congress for their steadfast support for Karabakh’s post-war
rehabilitation. We are confident that a continued U.S. assistance will
allow Artsakh to overcome all the consequences of the devastating war
imposed by Azerbaijan, and lead to new achievements in building a free
and democratic nation’, Avetisyan said.
