USA Congressman Frank Pallone issued a statement to commemorate the
22nd anniversary of the Sumgait massacres. He stated that the crimes
had never been adequately prosecuted by the Government of Azerbaijan
and most of its organizers and executors had been simply set free,
many of whom had become members of the Azeri Parliament.
"The Sumgait massacres are just another in a long line of Azerbaijan's
aggressions against the Armenian people. The attacks also marked
the beginning of a larger campaign of ethnic cleansing targeting the
Armenian people, culminating in the war launched against the people
of Nagorno Karabakh", the American Congressman stated.
The Congressman strongly urged Azerbaijan and Turkey to cease their
blockade and aggressive posture against the Armenian people and work
to achieve a lasting peace.
"It is time for the United States to do all that it can and to
use its geopolitical influence to send a message that ethnically
charged genocides, illegal blockades of sovereign nations and the
constant harassment of the Armenian people will not be tolerated",
the Congressman stated.
