    MEMBERS OF US CONGRESS SUPPORT ASSISTANCE TO ARTSAKH
    Reiterate the Importance of Overcoming the Consequences of War

    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.


    The Office of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic in the United States is
    based in Washington, DC and works with the U.S. government, academia
    and the public representing the official policies and interests of the
