Letters to U.S. House Members who co-signed the Congressional Armenian Caucus letter on Artsakh aid:
Dear Representative:
I am writing to share my special thanks for joining with 74 of your U.S. House colleagues in signing the Armenian Caucus Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 foreign aid letter to save aid to Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh), expand Armenia democracy programs, and upgrade U.S.-Armenia relations. I urge you to follow up with leaders of the House Appropriations Committee to ensure that a $1.5 million allocation for Artsakh humanitarian assistance is included in the FY21 foreign aid bill when it is introduced in a few weeks.
Armenian Americans in your district strongly support calls for 1) $1.5 million for Artsakh demining and robust funding for regional rehabilitation services for survivors of landmine injuries and individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities; 2) $100 million for economic, governance, rule of law, and security assistance to Armenia through State Department and USAID accounts; 3) the lifting of outdated State Department and USAID restrictions on U.S. travel, communication, or contacts with Artsakh government officials, and; 4) the suspension of U.S. military aid to Azerbaijan until it has ceased all attacks against Armenia and Artsakh.
As you know, Artsakh – an ancient Christian land and proud democratic republic on the global frontiers of faith and freedom – continues to face serious security challenges from neighboring Azerbaijan. The Aliyev regime regularly launches cross-border attacks, relentlessly demonizes Armenians worldwide, and has instructed its lobbyists in Washington, DC to wage war against America’s humanitarian aid program in Artsakh. They want to kill this U.S. investment in peace just when we should be expanding America’s constructive engagement in this region. The United States should not abandon this life-saving work, leaving landmines and unexploded ordnance across the Artsakh landscape, when completing this work will only require a modest expenditure, particularly when compared to the more than $100 million in military aid that the Administration is sending to Azerbaijan’s Aliyev regime.
The United States must also stand strong with Armenia – a partner for peace in the Artsakh-Azerbaijan talks and one of the world’s highest per-capita providers of peacekeepers for U.S. and NATO operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Kosovo, and Mali. For this reason, and many more, I want to thank you for supporting smart investments in America’s strategic interests in Armenia’s independence, the U.S.-Armenia partnership, and the search for peace between Artsakh and Azerbaijan.
Once again, thank you for co-signing the Armenian Caucus letter and I urge to ensure that Artsakh aid is included in the FY21 foreign aid bill. I look forward to hearing of your continued leadership on this issue and sharing progress with friends and family.

Letters to U.S. Senators who co-signed the Menendez letter on Artsakh aid:
Dear Senator:
I am writing to share my special thanks for joining with 30 of your U.S. Senate colleagues in signing the Menendez letter to save aid to Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh). I urge you to follow up with leaders of the Senate Appropriations Committee to ensure that a $1.5 million allocation for Artsakh humanitarian assistance is included in the Fiscal Year 2021 foreign aid bill when it is introduced in the upcoming weeks.
