Using state legislatures as their playgrounds, Armenian narrow interest groups attempt to inflict damage to the relations between the United States and our allies Turkey (NATO member) and Azerbaijan. This time, in your Great State of Connecticut, at the behest of Armenian lobbyists, representatives Edwin Vargas and William Petit introduced a House Resolution 00009 calling to recognize the so-called "Republic of Artsakh", the remnants of the illegitimate regime installed by Yerevan in occupied Khankendi, State Committee fon Work with the Diaspora told APA.

As a protest to this, the U.S. Azeris Network (USAN) has launched a letter campaign.

"Using state legislatures as their playgrounds, Armenian narrow interest groups attempt to inflict damage to the relations between the United States and our allies Turkey (NATO member) and Azerbaijan. This time, in your Great State of Connecticut, at the behest of Armenian lobbyists, representatives Edwin Vargas and William Petit introduced a House Resolution 00009 calling to recognize the so-called "Republic of Artsakh", the remnants of the illegitimate regime installed by Yerevan in occupied Khankendi. No doubt the bill misrepresents the facts about the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, conveniently leaving out the fact of Armenian aggression against and occupation of Azerbaijan's territories for nearly three decades, and promotes Russia's proxy state Armenia and its illegal creation "Artsakh", in contravention of national interests and the states foreign policy of the United States. Despite the fact that Armenian army was defeated and forced to capitulate in November 2020, with Azerbaijan restoring its territorial integrity, Armenian lobbyists continue to nag the state legislatures hoping to save face and justify the contributions they had gotten from their Armenian donors," the letter reads.
