Schiff submits resolution recognizing Karabakh independence

PanARMENIAN.Net - Congressman Adam Schiff has introduced a resolution recognizing the Artsakh’s (Nagorno Karabakh) independence and condemning Azerbaijan’s continued aggression against Armenia and Artsakh.

According to a document shared by the Armenian National Committee of America, the Congressman argues that the right to self-determination is enshrined in several articles of international law to which the United States is a party.

Azerbaijani authorities on Sunday set up a checkpoint on the only road connecting the Karabakh with Armenia. Baku also maintained that they have informed the command of the Russian peacekeepers and the Russian-Turkish monitoring center about the installment of the checkpoint.
