Rep. Sherman Presses Secretary Clinton on Azerbaijani Aggression in the Caucasus

WASHINGTON, DC - 03/01/2011 -- House Foreign Affairs Committee member Brad Sherman (D-CA) asked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today to address the Azerbaijani government's threats and aggression against Armenia and Karabakh and, more specifically, to identify the "serious repercussions" that Azerbaijan would face from the United States if it renewed its aggression against Nagorno Karabakh.

ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian offered the following comment: "The Azerbaijani government is arming itself to the teeth and openly threatening to use its arsenal of advanced weaponry to restart the Caucasus war it launched and then lost nearly two decades ago. We should, as Americans, be at least as clear in opposing Baku's march toward war and in laying out - in stark terms - the sanctions and other costs we would impose upon the Aliyev regime and the Azerbaijani government should they decide to restart hostilities."
