Палата представителей Массачусетса приняла резолюцию по признанию суверенитета Нагорного Карабаха

Палата представителей американского штата Массачусетс 6 августа приняла резолюцию по признанию независимости Нагорного Карабаха.

Как сообщили АрмИнфо в представительстве Нагорного Карабаха в США, в документе, представленном членом Палаты Джонатаном Хетчем, в частности, содержится призыв к президенту США Бараку Обаме и Конгрессу поддержать суверенитет и независимость Нагорно-Карабахской Республики.

Резолюция осуждает резню армян в азербайджанских городах Сумгаит, Кировабад, Баку. В документе подчеркивается, что своими антиармянскими действиями Азербайджан и в настоящее время продолжает угрожать безопасности НКР. Резолюция также высоко оценивает волю карабахского народа, который, несмотря на продолжающиеся насилия со стороны Азербайджана, 10 декабря 1991 года на референдуме проголосовали за независимость, свободу и демократию НКР. В документе также высоко оцениваются демократические достижения в НКР, свидетельством чему стали очередные президентские выборы в республике 19 июля 2012 года.

В этой связи постоянный представитель НКР в США Роберт Аветисян отметил, что принятие резолюции свидетельствует о том, что законодатели Массачусетса поощряют соблюдение всеобщих прав и свобод человека.
