The truth is that since 1992 our country. the United States of America. has said that the Government of Azerbaijan. not the people. the Government of Azerbaijan. will not receive governmental assistance from the United States so long as it continues its blockade of Armenia and NagornoKarabakh. Let me tell my colleagues this. This blockade is for real. The suggestion by speakers here that it does not exist defies fact. The fact is that this blockade imposed by Azerbaijan has affected the entire population of Armenia. It has prevented the delivery of assistance to 300.000 Armenian refugees driven out of Azerbaijan and obstructed the rebuilding of earthquakedamaged regions of Armenia where 500.000 persons were left homeless. The impact on Armenia is well documented. Azerbaijan has continued this blockade for 5 years. cutting off the transport of food. fuel. medicine. and other commodities to Armenia.
