It is the oil of Azerbaijan. and the desire of some to profit from that oil by helping the Government of Azerbaijan to build the infrastructure to extract and transport that oil. Since 1992 the United States has said that the Government of Azerbaijan will not receive direct United States aid as long as Azerbaijan continues its blockade of Armenia and NagornoKarabagh. This blockage has prevented the delivery of assistance to 300.000 Armenian refugees and obstructed the rebuilding of earthquake damage which left 500.000 people in Armenia homeless. The blockade by the Government of Azerbaijan has cut off the transport of food. fuel. medicine and other humanitarian assistance to the people of Armenia. Unless and until Azerbaijan removes its blockade of Armenia and NagornoKarabagh and stops its oppressive conduct toward the Armenian people. the United States should continue to forbid direct United States aid to the Government of Azerbaijan.
