WASHINGTON, DC – The direct link between the Armenian Genocide and the atrocities by Azerbaijan is apparent.

US Congressman Frank Pallone stated the aforesaid during an Armenian Genocide remembrance evening at the Capitol Hill, the Armenian News-NEWS.am reporter informed from Washington, DC.

Pallone stressed that clear parallels can be drawn between the 1915 Armenian Genocide and the recent Azerbaijani atrocities, which Armenian military servicemen and civilians were subjected to.

The US Congress member added that he is very concerned by what occurred in Nagorno-Karabakh. He noted that the representatives of Karabakh and Armenia were for a long time pointing to the military rhetoric of Azerbaijan, especially its president, and the biggest clash occurred just recently.

Frank Pallone stated that the US needs to bridle Azerbaijan, and make it return to the negotiating table. Subsequently, as per the US congressman, a peaceful settlement needs to be achieved, and this will enable Karabakh to either join Armenia, or establish as an independent country.
