Rep. Sherman: Azerbaijan violates not only Karabakh’s, but also Armenia’s territorial integrity
Congressman Brad Sherman, senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, called on U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to reverse Section 907 waiver allowing military aid to Azerbaijan and stop all arms sales to the country.
At a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Monday, he recalled that in 2019 the Congress recognized the Armenian Genocide and the US administration did the same in April of this year.
“However, the administration has issued a section 907 waiver to allow the sale of weapons to Azerbaijan. And I hope you would reconsider that in light of Azerbaijan’s violations of the territorial integrity not of Nagorno-Karabakh, although that is important, but of Armenia itself in an unprovoked aggression,” Sherman said.
