A GROUP OF AMERICAN CONGRESSMEN CALLED ON U.S. STATE SECRETARY TO SUPPORT SECTION 907

PanARMENIAN.Net - 29 American Congressmen signed the letter calling on U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell to refrain from the efforts to obtain repeal of Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act. (As it is known, the Section prohibits U.S. Administration to render direct aid to Azerbaijan until it raises the blockade of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.) The letter says, "repeal of the Section will contribute to the amoral blockade of Armenia by Azerbaijan, which can take a harsher stand at the negotiations on the Karabakh settlement." Abolition of the sanctions defending the interests of the Armenians will not be the best way to thank Armenia, which is united with U.S.A. in the struggle against terrorism," - the Congressmen consider.
