PALLONE EXPRESSES OUTRAGE AT ATTACK ON NAGORNO KARABAKH HELICOPTER
12:29, 14 Nov 2014
Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06), Co-Chair of the Congressional
Caucus on Armenian Issues, released the following statement upon news
of an Azerbaijani attack on a Nargorno Karabakh helicopter:
"I am outraged and saddened by the Azerbaijani attack on the Nagorno
Karabakh helicopter engaged in a training flight. This is another
instance of aggression by the Azerbaijani government towards Nagorno
Karabakh and Armenia and represents an escalation in their violent
actions that continue to have a destabilizing impact on the region.
There is no longer any question that President Obama must take action
to discourage Azerbaijan from pursuing such violent aggression and
to demonstrate our commitment to peace and stability.
"I encourage President Obama to formally condemn this deadly attack.
I am also calling for the cessation of any military assistance to
Azerbaijan and the strengthening of section 907 of the FREEDOM Support
Act, which restricts aid to Azerbaijan based on its aggression toward
Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia. It is time for both the President
and Congress to ensure that U.S. law once again holds Azerbaijan
accountable for its violent actions.
"The families of those who were killed and all of Nagorno Karabakh's
citizens remain in my thoughts and prayers."
