“Despite Azerbaijan and Armenia’s ceasefire agreement, unprovoked and ongoing Azerbaijani aggression against the people of Armenia and Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) means thousands of innocent civilians still live in fear, and the threat remains intolerably high,” Congressman Adam Schiff stated on his Facebook page.
He said that it is vital to have a thorough understanding of the current situation and look closely into all potential threats, so to be better prepared to avert future deadly conflicts.
“That is why the House Intelligence Committee included a measure Rep. Jackie Speier and I championed in the 2022 Intelligence Authorization Act, which will require an unclassified report on the likelihood of future military action within the Southern Caucuses – including Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Nagorno-Karabakh. We must use every tool at our disposal to ensure that peace endures for the people of Armenia and Artsakh,” Schiff added.
