A key committee of the US State of Tennessee House of Representatives rejected an anti-Armenian resolution initiated by pro-Azerbaijan forces. 

As a result, another serious setback was dealt to Baku’s efforts to undermine the independence of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, Asbarez reported citing Armenian National Committee of America – Eastern Region.

HR 145 lead sponsor Representative Joe Towns introduced a motion to move the resolution forward, but none of his committee colleagues offered a second in support.

Committee Chairman Ryan Haynes declared the motion failed.

Tennessee becomes the fourth state in less than two months to reject pro-Azerbaijan measures, joining Hawaii, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
