Congresswoman Judy Chu: I stand with people of Nagorno-Karabakh in
their noble pursuit
15:38 08/03/2013 » POLITICS
Congresswoman Judy Chu, in her remarks in the House of
Representatives, has expressed her support to the people of
Nagorno-Karabakh on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of
Nagorno-Karabakh movement, according to The Library of Congress
Thomas.
`Let us take this occasion to remember their struggle for
self-determination and freedom.
In 1988, Nagorno-Karabakh petitioned to become part of Armenia. For
the next 2 years, the Armenian population was the target of racially
motivated pogroms. Hundreds of Armenians were murdered and more
wounded during three violent attacks in Sumgait, Kirovabad, and Baku.
In 1991, Nagorno-Karabakh officially declared independence, becoming a
democratic state committed to freedom and respect for human rights.
Despite dual blockades and threats from neighboring Azerbaijan,
Nagorno-Karabakh has held a series of democratic elections and
continues to work hard to strengthen its economy. I stand with the
people of Nagorno-Karabakh in this noble pursuit.'
