Michael G. Grimm of New York in the House of Representatives stated
the following statement on Nagorno-Karabakh.
"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".
