Senator Anthony J. Portantino introduced Senate Joint
Resolution 9, which calls on Azerbaijan to end its inhumane blockade of Artsakh
and ensure the free and adequate flow of food, medicine, and humanitarian goods
through the Lachin corridor, Asbarez.com writes.
“As a genocide is unfolding before our eyes, we must act.
The people of Artsakh cannot afford to wait another day without strong United
States and international action to bring an end to this devastating
humanitarian crisis. It is critical that we move beyond words, demand the
re-opening of the Lachin Corridor, and cut off military aid to Azerbaijan. I
strongly condemn Azerbaijan’s violent and genocidal campaign against the
Armenian people of Artsakh, who have been left without food, medical supplies
and the right to free movement,” the senator said.
