ANCA Chairman Raffi Hamparian with House Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA)
WASHINGTON—The Armenian National Committee of America has called upon the bipartisan leadership of the U.S. Senate and House intelligence committees to release geospatial, signals, cyber, measurement and signature, and other forms of intelligence related to Azerbaijan’s April 2nd offensive against Nagorno Karabakh. The cross-border attack came immediately in the wake of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s meetings in Washington, DC with Vice President Joe Biden Secretary of State John Kerry.
In a letter sent to the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence earlier today, ANCA Chairman Raffi Hamparian wrote: “We are, consistent with our longstanding support of American efforts to bring about an enduring peace in this pivotal region, interested in understanding whether the U.S. intelligence community was aware that two of the most senior members of our government were meeting with a foreign official who was, as they spoke with him, planning to launch a major military offensive against Nagorno Karabakh – a recipient of U.S. assistance and a constructive partner in the OSCE Minsk Group peace process.â€
