Washington: SPEECH OF HON. DEVIN NUNES OF CALIFORNIA IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 2013
Washington
The Library of Congress, The Government of USA has issued the following Speech:
Mr. NUNES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today alongside my colleague,
Representative DAVID VALADAO, to pay tribute to the people of Nagorno
Karabakh.
Armenians have suffered some of the worst savagery of recent history,
from the massacre of more than a million people in the Armenian
Genocide, to the cruel repression of Soviet rule, to Azerbaijan's war
against Nagorno Karabakh and the ongoing siege of that region. Through
these trials and tribulations, the Armenian people have paid a steep
price for their freedom. The hero's welcome Azerbaijan recently
afforded to Ramil Safarov, an Azerbaijani military officer who
murdered a sleeping Armenian officer during a NATO-sponsored program
in Hungary, is a stark reminder of the unrelenting hostility Armenians
face today.
In this year, which marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of another
anti-Armenian atrocity--the Sumgait pogroms--we pay homage to the
Armenian people and particularly the people of Nagorno Karabakh, who
bravely struggle to maintain their right to self-determination.
