U.S. - Armenia Relationship
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- Congressman Brad Sherman (CA-32) and Congressman Adam Schiff (CA-30) spoke at a press conference hosted by the Pan Armenian Council of Western USA (PAC WUSA) to demonstrate unity with the 120,000 residents of Artsakh facing a dire humanitarian crisis caused by Azerbaijan's ongoing blockade of Artsakh.
"We are watching a humanitarian catastrophe unfold in Artsakh," said Congressman Sherman. "We must hold the Aliyev regime accountable and end U.S. military assistance to Azerbaijan."
WASHINGTON, DC -- The Artsakh National Assembly on Monday elected Davit Ishkhanyan, parliamentary deputy with the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF), as the new speaker of the legislature.
Washington, D.C. -- Today we remember and honor the lives lost during the Armenian Genocide - one of the darkest chapters in human history. We just commemorated Yom HaShoah - the Holocaust - and we were taught that to forget the name of the victim is as if to kill them again. That's why today we pause to honor and remember the 1.5 million Armenians who were tragically murdered in the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923 because genocide denial is the first step in the next genocide.
35 years ago today, Azerbaijani mobs attacked Armenian residents of Sumgait, setting off pogroms that would last days and spread to multiple towns. These events led to unspeakable crimes - not only murders of Armenians, but also brutal acts of torture, rape, and immolation.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA), senior Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Congressional Armenian Caucus, led a press conference, along with the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) and In Defense of Christians, to urge immediate action on Azerbaijan's continued brutal blockade of Artsakh.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA), senior Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Congressional Armenian Caucus, took to the Floor of the House of Representatives where he condemned Azerbaijan's continued blockade of Artsakh and urged for real consequences to be imposed on the Aliyev regime.
"Congress cannot stay silent as Azerbaijan tries to starve and freeze 120,000 Armenians out of Artsakh," said Congressman Sherman. "I urge my colleagues and the Administration to impose real consequences."
Washington, D.C. - Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA), senior Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and member of the Congressional Armenia Caucus, continued to condemn Azerbaijain's continued blockade of Artsakh and urge for a U.S. response.
"For the last month, the people of Artsakh's right to freedom of movement has been upended by Azerbaijan's blockade," said Sherman. "With food and medical supplies in Artsakh running out at alarming rates, the U.S. must put real pressure on Azerbaijan- including by enforcing Section 907."

Washington, D.C. – I am deeply disturbed by reports of a humanitarian calamity currently unfolding in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) as a result of Azerbaijan's continued and unabated campaign of aggression against the Armenian people.
Azerbaijan has reportedly imposed a blockade on the only road connecting Artsakh with Armenia and the primary means by which food, medical supplies and other vital resources are transported to the region. As a result, the lives of Artsakh's 120,000 Armenians, and the prospect for peace in the region, remain in grave jeopardy.
Washington, D.C. -- Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA), senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Congressional Armenia Caucus, attended a series of meetings in Washington D.C. with Armenian leaders in light of the recent outrageous attacks on Armenia's sovereignty by the Aliyev regime.
