/PanARMENIAN.Net/ I believe personally that the United States should
recognize Nagorno Karabakh, Frank Pallone Jr., the New Jersey Democrat
who is a founding co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian
Issues, said. `I certainly would be willing to do whatever I can to
have that happen,’ he said
However, according to him, it will be difficult, because a lot of
members of Congress are not that familiar with the subject. `I assume
that the State Department would be against it, and I am not sure how
much Armenia itself would be pushing for it. So it would probably be
hard to do,’ Frank Pallone said.
`And while I support recognition of NKR, I do not know if the Armenian
community wants to prioritize that. The community has to prioritize
the issues and spend their time on things that are more likely (to be
successfully accomplished)]. And since this issue would be difficult,
I would not recommend that they prioritize it, `congressman saidin an
interview to Armenian reporter.
