writing to extend our sincere congratulations to you and the people
of Artsakh on the Parliamentary elections held on May 23, 2010.

and to advocate self-determination for Artsakh.
We wish our colleagues in the democratically-elected National Assembly
of Artsakh productive service on behalf of the people of the Nagorno
Karabakh Republic.
Sincerely,
Frank Pallone, Jr Mark Steven Kirk
