    WASHINGTON-Representatives Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06) and Michael
    Grimm (NY-11), co-chairs of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian
    Issues, released the following letter on Friday sent to Bako Sahakian,
    President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, congratulating the Republic
    on its 22nd anniversary of independence.

    The following is the text of the letter:

    August 30, 2013

    H.E. Bako Sahakyan President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic 20th
    February Street, 3 Stepanakert, NKR

    Dear President Sahakyan: As co-chairs of the Congressional Caucus on
    Armenian Issues, we are writing to congratulate you and the people of
    the Nagorno Karabakh Republic as you celebrate the 22nd anniversary
    of your independence on September 2, 2013.

    Formation of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic in 1991 was a testament to
    fundamental principles of freedom and democracy. Over the ensuing years
    you put an end to decades of Soviet oppression and discrimination
    while overcoming war launched by Azerbaijan against the people
    of Artsakh. Your government has been remarkably resilient and your
    continued dedication to democracy is laudable. We commend your nation
    for consistently holding free and fair elections as evidenced by
    international observers.

    Like you, we remain hopeful that a peaceful resolution to the
    conflict will be found, and are deeply troubled by Azerbaijan's
    ongoing violations of the cease-fire. We appreciate your constructive
    approach in the face of such aggression and your unwavering pursuit
    of regional stability.

    We are committed to continuing our support of the Nagorno Karabakh
    Republic and of the aspirations of your fledgling democracy and its
    people. We strongly endorse Artsakh's efforts towards international
    recognition of its independence.
