Armenia – March 9 2023
Congressman Brad Sherman, who spearheaded the launch of U.S. aid to Artsakh in FY98, on Wednesday testified in support of direct U.S. humanitarian assistance to Artsakh families under the Azerbaijani blockade.
“The people of Artsakh have lived in that region for thousands of years. Joseph Stalin made that region a part of Azerbaijan, rather than Armenian. The result has been a terrible conflict including what is now a three-month blockade of the Armenians living in that region,” Rep. Sherman said.
“They desperately need humanitarian assistance, and I hope you are generous in providing humanitarian assistance for the people of Artsakh,” he added.
