02/06/23 - Rep. Schiff posted the following to Facebook: "Proud to announce that the Permanent Representative of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic to the United States Robert Avetisyan will be my guest at tomorrow's State of the Union address. The humanitarian crisis in Artsakh grows direr by the day, with widespread shortages of food, medicine, and other necessities, rolling blackouts amid freezing winter temperatures, and tens of thousands of people cut off from their families, loved ones, and livelihoods. Families and children are suffering, and the United States must take decisive action to assist them. I hope Armenians, members of the Armenia diaspora in the United States, and the world – and yes, President Biden and the U.S. State Department – will see Permanent Representative of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic to the United States Robert Avetisyan’s attendance at the State of the Union as a strong signal that Congress will never stop advocating for peace for the humanitarian crisis in Artsakh. I will always stand with the people of Armenia and Artsakh and thank Avetisyan for bringing attention to this human suffering and humanitarian disaster, and I call on the President and the United States to use all diplomatic tools at its disposal to ensure the safety of the people of Artsakh amid the growing crisis in the region."

We cannot stand by as the butcher in Baku brutally attacks the people of Artsakh. Teamed up with ANCA to demand a stronger response from the U.S. to the blockade and threat of war."
