I spoke with Azerbaijan President Aliyev today to welcome the recent ceasefire and to urge a disengagement of military forces and a return to peace negotiations.
Today, I am leading a Congressional delegation to Armenia to highlight the strong commitment of the United States to security, economic prosperity, and democratic governance in Armenia and the Caucasus region.
After @FrankPallone, @RepSpeier, @RepAnnaEshoo and I arrived in Yerevan, we greeted the U.S. Marine detachment at @USEmbArmenia.
It was our privilege to offer gratitude from the Country and our Congress for the service of our heroes in uniform.
Join @AlenSimonyan, @FrankPallone, @RepSpeier, @RepAnnaEshoo & me in Armenia for a press conference following our bilateral meeting on the U.S.-Armenian relationship & America's support for Armenia as it faces an illegal & deadly assault by Azerbaijan. https://t.co/mZCPMEt37F
Join me live as I deliver remarks in Yerevan to send a strong message: America stands with Armenia in supporting its security and democracy. https://t.co/lIPnjlRGac
Last year, President Biden made history by becoming the first US President to formally recognize the genocide, following the House's 2019 passage of H.Res.296 to do so. We must never allow the truth of the genocide to be erased, especially as atrocities are perpetrated today.
The Congress is committed to always honoring our collective responsibility to uphold the memory of the dead, affirm the history of this tragedy, and ensure such a horror can never again happen.
Today, our delegation was deeply honored to join @AlenSimonyan to lay a wreath at Tsitsernakaberd Armenian Genocide Memorial and pray for the 1.5 million Armenian men, women, and children murdered in the genocide.
This afternoon, our delegation met with Speaker @AlenSimonyan to reiterate Congress's commitment to strengthening the U.S.-Armenian relationship and convey America's support for Armenia following Azerbaijan’s assault on its territory.
I also expressed the condemnation of the Congress for Azerbaijan's attack & reaffirmed the US’ commitment to a negotiated, comprehensive, and sustainable settlement to all conflicts related to Nagorno Karabakh that will lead to a future of peace and stability.
Our Members expressed our appreciation & commitment to strengthen the U.S.-Armenian partnership. We also expressed our pride in President Biden last year becoming the first U.S. President to formally recognize the Armenian Genocide, following the lead of the House in 2019.
Today, our Congressional delegation had the high privilege of meeting with Prime Minister @NikolPashinyan of Armenia, a valued partner in advancing security, prosperity, and Democracy in the Caucasus region.
When America was experiencing the depths of pandemic and economic crisis, @POTUS knew that we had to #BuildBackBetter. Congress did so by passing the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, an historic step to rebuild infrastructure and the middle class.
