Englewood Cliffs, NJ recognizes Karabakh's right to self-determination

PanARMENIAN.Net - Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey Mayor Mario M. Kranjac passed a resolution on behalf of the mayor’s office on November 4, recognizing the Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) and its inalienable right to self-determination, reports the Armenian National Committee of America.

The Mayor condemned the Azerbaijani and Turkish attacks against the Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh), reported the Armenian National Committee of America Eastern Region (ANCA-ER).

“It is my humble opinion that a path to peace can always be found with reasonable people, and we must always find our way down that path rather than the dead-end of conflict,” said Englewood Cliffs Mayor Mario M. Kranjac.

New Jersey, which is the home to nearly 50,000 Armenian Americans, has seen the support of city, state and federal support for Artsakh including a mayoral proclamation from Borough of Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich on October 15, New Jersey State Senator Joseph Lagana’s introduction of legislation S.R.99 condemning the attacks and recognizing Artsakh on October 30, along with the support of several congressional members including Senators Menendez and Booker and Representatives Pallone, Gottheimer, Norcross, Smith, Malinowski, Sires, Pascrell, Watson Coleman and Kim.

Italy's Lombardy, the Australian state of New South Wales, several U.S. states and dozens of towns across the world have already recognized Karabakh.

Azerbaijan, with help from Turkey and terrorist mercenaries deployed by Ankara, started a war against Karabakh (Artsakh) in the morning of September 27. The Armenian side has reported deaths and injuries both among the civilian population and the military. Foreign and local journalists too have been injured in Azeri shelling of towns and villages.

Donations can be made to Hayastan All-Armenian Fund, which has launched a fundraising campaign to support humanitarian efforts in Karabakh.
