Rep. Pallone: US support is critical to deter further Azerbaijani aggression and ensure Armenia’s territorial integrity

American support is critical to deter further Azerbaijani aggression and ensure Armenia’s territorial integrity, US Rep. Frank Pallone said in a post on X.

He added that he signed onto a bipartisan, bicameral letter to Congressional leaders urging them to include security assistance for Armenia in any upcoming supplemental funding bill.

As reported earlier, sixty US Senators and Representatives, led by Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA), called on congressional leaders to send security assistance to Armenia and provide additional refugee relief aid for the forcibly displaced persons of Artsakh as part of the national security supplemental funding bill.

The Padilla-Eshoo letter calls for $10 million in US foreign military financing (FMF) for Armenia and requests humanitarian assistance allocated in the supplemental aid bill to be made available to Armenia to meet the needs of over 100,000 forcibly displaced Armenians of Artsakh.
