ArmInfo.U.S. Congressman Adam Schiff has left the following message about the humanitarian crisis in Artsakh: 

"Proud to announce that the Permanent Representative of the Nagorno  Karabakh Republic to the United States Robert Avetisyan will be my  guest at tomorrow's State of the Union address. The humanitarian  crisis in Artsakh grows direr by the day, with widespread shortages  of food, medicine, and other necessities, rolling blackouts amid  freezing winter temperatures, and tens of thousands of people cut off  from their families, loved ones, and livelihoods. Families and  children are suffering, and the United States must take decisive  action to assist them. I hope Armenians, members of the Armenia  diaspora in the United States, and the world - and yes, President  Biden and the U.S. State Department - will see Permanent  Representative of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic to the United States  Robert Avetisyan's attendance at the State of the Union as a strong  signal that Congress will never stop advocating for peace for the  humanitarian crisis in Artsakh. I will always stand with the people  of Armenia and Artsakh and thank Avetisyan for bringing attention to  this human suffering and humanitarian disaster, and I call on the  President and the United States to use all diplomatic tools at its  disposal to ensure the safety of the people of Artsakh amid the  growing crisis in the region."
