    Washington: HON. MICHAEL G. GRIMM OF NEW YORK IN THE HOUSE OF
    REPRESENTATIVES Tuesday, March 5, 2013

    Washington


    The Library of Congress, The Government of USA has issued the following Speech:

    Mr. GRIMM. Mr. Speaker, last month marked 25 years since the people of
    the Nagorno Karabakh region took a brave and bold first step in
    asserting their right to political freedom and national independence.
    Since the early 20th century the Nagorno Karabakh region and its
    people have been subject to the territorial squabbling and political
    gamesmanship of a number of foreign powers. In spite of this fact, the
    proud people of the Nagorno Karabakh have steadfastly asserted their
    desire for political autonomy, overwhelmingly approving a popular
    referendum declaring independence from Azerbaijan in 1991 and thereby
    affirming a distinct national identity driven by deep ethnic,
    cultural, and religious bonds. The Nagorno Karabakh Republic's steady
    advances in the industries of banking, agriculture, and
    telecommunications, provide further testament to their promise as a
    viable independent partner in the international community. Coupling
    this with the United States' longstanding and unambiguous role as a
    defender of free people's right to self-determination across the
    globe, I hope that my colleagues will join me in commemorating the
    25th anniversary of the Nagorno Karabakh liberation movement as part
    of the promotion of peace, stability, and prosperity in the South
    Caucusus.
