In 2020, Azerbaijan and Turkey launched an unprovoked war against Artsakh and Armenia, taking more than 6,000 lives (from both sides – ed.) and displacing at least 90,000 ethnic Armenians, US Congresswoman Anna Eshoo wrote on her Twitter.
She added that thousands of unexploded ordnances remain, posing a lethal threat to families who wish to return home.
“Rep Speier and I led a letter today with 33 of our colleagues in support of including demining assistance for Artsakh in final Fiscal Year 2022 appropriations legislation. These funds are necessary to complete the important work of clearing Artsakh of deadly explosives,” Eshoo tweeted.
