California State legislators speak out against the helicopter attack
13:00, 15 Nov 2014
Just months after the California legislature adopted legislation in
support of Karabakh self-determination, state-level elected officials
issued strong statements against Azerbaijan's most recent attacks.
"My thoughts and prayers are with the families of Major Sergey
Sahakyan, and the 2 members of the Artsakh Air Force who perished
today," said Assemblyperson Adrin Nazarian. "It is unconscionable
that the Azerbaijani Armed Forces would shoot down an unarmed
helicopter, during a routine exercise, in an unprovoked attack against
Artsakh. In order to regain peace in the region, Azerbaijan needs to
prove themselves as an equal partner of peace and immediately cease
all aggregation against the people of Nagorno-Karabakh."
CA Board of Equalization Member and Controller Elect Betty Yee shared
her concerns regarding the most recent attack. "When life is
threatened anywhere and citizens are left in fear, the possibility of
peace becomes less hopeful. I join my elected colleagues around the
world in denouncing this act of violence against Armenia. May peace
reign within the borders, and may violence against any people and
nation be condemned."
Assemblymember Marc Levine tweeted, "If shown to be true, this
unprovoked attack has the potential to destabilize an already unstable
situation."
