    ANCA URGED U. S. CONGRESSMEN TO VOICE THEIR SUPPORT FOR NAGORNO KARABAGH

    YEREVAN, 06.03.08. DE FACTO. In the wake of renewed threats this week
    against Nagorno Karabagh by Azerbaijan's President and military
    attack by the Azerbaijani military against defensive positions in
    the Martakert region in northern Nagorno Karabagh held March 4, the
    Armenian National Committee (ANCA) alerted members of Congress and
    the broader Washington, DC foreign policy community to the growing
    danger that Azerbaijan represents to U.S. interests in maintaining
    peace and stability in the Caucasus region, the ANCA reports.

    According to Reuters news agency, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev,
    known for his inflammatory anti-Armenian rhetoric, stated March 4 that,
    "We have been buying military machinery, airplanes and ammunition to
    be ready to liberate the occupied territories and we are ready to do
    this." These statements were accompanied by renewed attacks by the
    Azerbaijani army in the area of Levonarkh in Martakert, leading to as
    many as eight deaths. The Nagorno- Karabagh Foreign Ministry has asked
    that the "OSCE launch a comprehensive investigation of the incident,
    give an official political evaluation of the Azeri authorities'
    actions, as well as conduct an immediate crisis-monitoring in the
    incident zone, in order to prevent similar violations in future."

    In letters circulated yesterday afternoon to Congressional offices,
    the ANCA called on Senators and Representatives to voice their support
    for Nagorno Karabagh's democratic progress and development, to hold
    Azerbaijan accountable for its belligerent rhetoric and aggressive
    actions, and to promote peace by expanding the level of dialogue
    between the U.S. and Nagorno Karabagh.
