Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Ben Cardin Lambasts Azerbaijan\u2019s Attempts to Impose Demands on Armenia by Force<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Ben Cardin (D-MD) condemned Azerbaijan\u2019s ethnic cleansing of Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) and its ongoing aggression against Armenia during a Helsinki Commission hearing held on Capitol Hill on September 10th.

The hearing, titled \u201cSupporting Armenia\u2019s Democracy and Western Future,\u201d featured testimony from three expert witnesses \u2013 former U.S. Ambassador to the OSCE Dan Baer, former International Crisis Group South Caucasus Analyst Olesya Vartanyan, and President of the Yerevan-based Regional Center for Democracy and Security Tigran Grigoryan.

Reflecting on a recent Helsinki Commission delegation visit to Armenia, Chairman Cardin noted that in addition to having perpetrated ethnic cleansing in Nagorno Karabakh, Azerbaijan was seeking to \u201celiminate a good part of [Armenia’s] sovereignty by force\u201d through its continued encroachment into Armenia\u2019s sovereign territory.

\u201cAzerbaijan recently came in and took over the Nagorno Karabakh area and did ethnic cleansing, required the people to leave or to face death or imprisonment,\u201d Chairman Cardin stated. \u201cThis is nothing new. But they not only decided to putting at risk the cultural facilities, the cultural history of the region, they decided to go into [Armenia] and take part of Azerbaijan with no indication that they’re going to give up that territory.\u201d

In reference to the ongoing peace talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Chairman Cardin continued by noting the inequitable terms of the ongoing peace process, and its failure to address the threat posed by Azerbaijan to Armenia\u2019s security.

\u201cI\u2019m not sure that peace agreement is very fair,\u201d Senator Cardin remarked. \u201cIf I understand it, it does not, they’re not even talking about the border issues as far as the areas that are currently under control by Azerbaijan and Armenia.\u201d

In their testimony to the Helsinki Commission, the expert panelists reiterated the fact that Azerbaijan\u2019s assault on Nagorno Karabakh and incursions into sovereign Armenian territory represented an immediate threat to Armenia\u2019s security. Olesya Vartanyan highlighted Azerbaijan\u2019s consolidation of its military presence in Armenian territory and Armenia\u2019s vulnerability to further military escalation by Azerbaijan. Vartanyan also highlighted the fact that despite ongoing peace talks, Azerbaijan has sought to delay and derail negotiations by conditioning new demands on Armenia \u2013 such as changing its constitution.

Tigran Grigoryan reiterated the threat of further Azerbaijani aggression in his testimony, noting that the \u201cgreatest challenges to Armenia\u2019s democracy are external,\u201d citing the immediate existential threat from neighboring Azerbaijan. Grigoryan urged Congressional leaders to support targeted sanctions against Azerbaijani officials and servicemen responsible for wartime atrocities, noting that \u201cthe absence of accountability only emboldens Baku’s lines of attack.\u201d

During the hearing, Representative Andy Harris (R-MD), who also participated in the Helsinki Commission delegation to Armenia, drew attention to reports that Azerbaijan was assisting Russia in bypassing sanctions with regards to regional energy trade. In response, Grigoryan noted the extensive energy ties between Azerbaijan and Russia \u2013 stating that Azerbaijan\u2019s collusion with Russia went beyond sanctions evasion and included creating alternative regional infrastructure for Russia to circumvent trade restrictions.

Representative Emanuel Cleaver\u2019s (D-MO) question to the experts put a sharp focus on Azerbaijan\u2019s expanding military presence in Armenia, and what role the United States could play in a peacekeeping capacity to prevent further escalation. Vartanyan\u2019s explained that the European Union\u2019s monitoring mission in Armenia as an example of a tangible step towards de-escalation and recommended the U.S. follow the lead of Canada \u2013 as a non-EU member \u2013 in joining the EU monitoring presence as an additional deterrent against further Azerbaijani encroachment.

In addition to calling attention to the immediate security concerns faced by Armenia, all of the witnesses reiterated the need for a more robust U.S. response to support the 120,000 Armenian refugees forced from their homes by Azerbaijan. Grigoryan noted that to date, only $11.5 million had been deployed to support refugees \u2013 significantly more was needed to support the medium to long-term needs of the displaced population. Vardanyan noted that in addition to providing support to the displaced population, Artsakh\u2019s Armenians longed for the opportunity to return to their homes, stating \u201cI have yet to meet a single person ready to give up hope of returning to Nagorno Karabakh.\u201d

Almost a year since the ethnic cleansing of Nagorno Karabakh, the United States has refused to hold Azerbaijan accountable for its aggression \u2013 emboldening Azerbaijan\u2019s continued occupation of sovereign territory and use of force to impose demands on Armenia during volatile negotiations.

\u201cCongress can act where the Administration has so clearly failed \u2013 by enacting legislation to hold Azerbaijan accountable for its aggression, imposing sanctions on Azerbaijani war criminals, drastically increasing humanitarian assistance to Armenia, and advocating for a just, durable and dignified peace that ensures the release of illegally detained Armenian POWs and guarantees the right of return for Artsakh\u2019s Armenians,\u201d remarked ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. \u201cPeace is not possible absent accountability \u2013 for as long as Azerbaijan faces impunity for its actions, it will continue to believe there is more to be gained through war than through negotiations.\u201d

Amid the existential threat Armenia faces at the hands of Azerbaijan, the ANCA is advancing several critical bills and resolutions that seek to impose material consequences on Azerbaijan for its ethnic cleansing of Artsakh to deter further Azerbaijani aggression and ensure Armenia\u2019s sovereignty. These include H.R.7288, to enforce statutory restrictions on U.S. military assistance to Azerbaijan pursuant to Section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act; H.R.8141, to assess the applicability of targeted Global Magnitsky Act Sanctions against Azerbaijani officials responsible for war crimes; H.R.1327, to condemn Azerbaijan\u2019s ethnic cleansing of Artsakh and support the right of Armenians to return to their homes under international protection; and, \u00a0S.Res.540, to investigate Azerbaijan\u2019s war crimes and human rights abuses pursuant to Section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act. The ANCA also backed Congressional letters urging for a significant increase in U.S. humanitarian aid to Artsakh refugees, and supporting U.S. security assistance to Armenia.

The ANCA also continues to advance efforts to ensure the immediate release of Armenian prisoners of war and Artsakh\u2019s political leaders who have been subject to torture and abuse while illegally detained by Azerbaijan. To that end, Senator Cardin recently issued a statement on the upcoming United Nations COP29 climate summit in Azerbaijan, urging the immediate and unconditional release of all unjustly detained Armenian captives. Senator Cardin noted that \u201chosting a major international conference like COP29 should come with responsibilities and expectations that host countries allow frank discussion of information and issues, which requires recognizing freedoms of speech and assembly. Azerbaijan has not done so.\u201d

Last week, Senator Ed Markey (D-MA), who is leading Senate efforts to hold Azerbaijani accountable for abuses and war crimes against Artsakh and Armenia, expressed his concerns about Azerbaijan hosting the COP29 climate summit.

\u201cGiven Azerbaijan\u2019s incredible dependence on state-sponsored fossil fuel production and its poor human rights record, I am deeply troubled that Azerbaijan has been selected as the host country for COP29,\u201d said Senator Markey. \u201cRather than be rewarded for persistently flouting international human rights law \u2014 as it attacks and displaces innocent civilians in Nagorno-Karabakh and unlawfully detains Armenian prisoners \u2014 Azerbaijan must first rectify its human rights abuses and show real commitment to the scientific need to phase out oil and gas, not ramp up its misdeeds on both fronts.\u201d
