Letter to Members of Congress Who Co-Signed the Armenian Caucus Letter to the Biden Administration
Dear Representative:
I am writing to thank you for co-signing the letter – circulated by the bipartisan Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues – encouraging the Biden Administration to support Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) and Armenia.
This letter – addressed to the Secretaries of State and Defense – underscores the severity of the crisis caused by unprovoked Azerbaijani and Turkish aggression, and addressed a series of U.S. policy priorities to advance U.S. interests in the region:
— U.S. emergency assistance that provides the people of Artsakh with the ability to reconstruct their communities and rebuild their lives without fear of further bloodshed.
— U.S. re-engagement in the search for an enduring regional settlement – based on the fundamental right of self-determination – that protects the security of Artsakh and helps to ensure another war does not break out.
— U.S. recognition of the right to self-determination for the people of Artsakh and their role as a legitimate negotiating party in resolving this conflict.
— U.S. leadership in securing the immediate release of Armenian prisoners
— U.S. accountability, including sanctions against high-ranking Azerbaijani and Turkish leaders, the withholding of U.S. aid to Baku, and ending the waiver of Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act.
— U.S. support for Armenia’s economic development and assistance to Armenians displaced by Azerbaijani aggression
— U.S. recognition of the Armenian Genocide by President Biden
I look forward to sharing news of your support for this letter with friends and family.

Dear Representative:
I noticed that you were not among the more than 100 of your U.S. House colleagues (from 24 states) who co-signed a recent Armenian Caucus letter urging the Biden Administration to undertake concrete steps to support Armenian security, challenge Turkish and Azerbaijani aggression, and advance the cause of peace.
As you may know, this letter, addressed to the Secretaries of State and Defense, underscored the severity of the regional crisis caused by six weeks of unrelenting Azerbaijani and Turkish aggression last fall, proposing urgent action on the following U.S. policy priorities:
– U.S. emergency assistance that provides the people of Artsakh with the ability to reconstruct their communities and rebuild their lives without fear of further bloodshed.
– U.S. re-engagement in the search for an enduring regional settlement – based on the fundamental right of self-determination – that protects the security of Artsakh and helps to ensure another war does not break out.
– U.S. recognition of the right to self-determination for the people of Artsakh and their role as a legitimate negotiating party in resolving this conflict.
– U.S. leadership in securing the immediate release of Armenian prisoners
– U.S. accountability, including sanctions against high-ranking Azerbaijani and Turkish leaders, the withholding of U.S. aid to Baku, and ending the waiver of Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act.
– U.S. support for Armenia’s economic development and assistance to Armenians displaced by Azerbaijani aggression
– U.S. recognition of the Armenian Genocide by President Biden

As an actively engaged constituent, I will stay in touch with your office on these issues and look forward to learning of your support for initiatives by the Armenian Caucus to strengthen U.S.-Armenia ties and support the national and democratic aspirations of the Armenian nation.
