Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair calls on Biden Administration to hold Baku accountable for NK ethnic cleansing

 12:09, 6 December 2023

YEREVAN, DECEMBER 6, ARMENPRESS. U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Senator Ben Cardin has called on the Biden Administration to hold Azerbaijan accountable for the ethnic cleansing of Nagorno-Karabakh’s indigenous Armenian population.

In a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Cardin stated he is "deeply concerned that Azerbaijan could take further military action to achieve additional political gains, particularly in regards to the so-called Zangezour corridor."

The Senator called on Blinken to ‘continue to work with international partners and organizations to support accountability for the Aliyev regime’s actions.’

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair also warned that Azerbaijan has been seizing and destroying Armenian cultural property in pursuit of its efforts to erase Armenian history and culture.

Emil Lazarian: “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
