More than one hundred children lost a parent and 25 children lost both parents. At least 8 families were completely obliterated. Even though a ceasefire went into effect over two decades ago. more than 20 percent of Azerbaijans territory. including NagornoKarabakh and seven surrounding districts. remain occupied and more than 1 million Azerbaijanis remain refugees unable to return to their home villages. Ongoing violence along the line of contact surrounding occupied Azerbaijani territory reinforces the urgency of robust American participation in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europes (OSCE) Minsk Group as it works toward a peaceful resolution of the AzerbaijanArmenia conflict. Azerbaijan is the only country that borders both Russia and Iran. and yet Azerbaijan has been a strong partner of the United States and its allies in security and energy matters.
