Pro-Armenian US Congressman Adam Schiff joined the messages on the occasion of the Independence Day of the Artsakh Republic. He noted that he would continue to fight for the international recognition of the Artsakh Republic (Nagorno-Karabakh).
“Today, we come together to mark Artsakh’s Independence Day, when 30 years ago the brave people of Artsakh declared their independence from the Soviet Union. And while Artsakh’s path has never been an easy one, the war over the last year or so has tested the people of Artsakh in unimaginable ways.
Your resistance to that ordeal is a source of inspiration to all of us. On this important day, let us once again dedicate ourselves to the fight against the threats facing the people of Artsakh. Independence is only the beginning of the struggle for freedom.
I will always stand with Artsakh and the Armenian people, as we demand security and self-determination for Artsakh. I am waiting for the day when Artsakh will finally enjoy international recognition, which it has been deprived of for so long,” Schiff says.
