Congressman Brad Sherman calls on U.S. to arm Armenia

ArmInfo. American Congressman Brad Sherman called on the United States to arm Armenia.

"It makes little sense to say Ukraine shouldn't lose territory to  armed aggression, but #Armenian territorial integrity is not a U.S.  national interest.   We should have armed Ukraine more before the  2014 invasion, as I urged a decade ago.  We need to arm Armenia now,  with appropriate defensive weapons, to deter invasion," Mr. Sherman  wrote on X.

In addition, as it became known from the media outlets, U.S. Senator  Gary Peters introduced a bipartisan bill that would prevent the U.S.  from providing security assistance to Azerbaijan until it has been  determined that they are not taking offensive action against the  Armenians. Mr. Peters introduced the legislation in response to the  Azerbaijani government's ongoing attacks on ethnic Armenians in  Nagorno-Karabakh.

 "The Azerbaijani government has made it clear - it can and will use  its military resources to impose violent attacks against the people  of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh," said Senator Peters. "The United  States cannot be complicit in Azerbaijani violence against the  Armenian people. We must pass this legislation to block additional  American aid to Azerbaijan until it puts an end to its aggression in  the region," the senator noted.
