    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyanmet with Congressman Adam Schiff
    (D-CA) in Washington on the sidelines of the Nuclear Security Summit.

    Mr. Sargsyan thanked the Congressman for his efforts for recognition
    of the Armenian Genocide by the U.S. Congress and for support to
    Armenia and Artsakh, presidential press office reported.

    Congressman Adam B. Schiff representing California's 29th Congressional
    District is one of the authors of Armenian Genocide Resolution
    (H. Res. 252) passed by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee
    on Foreign Affairs on March 4, 2010. Rep. Schiff also speaks out for
    increasing humanitarian aid to Nagorno Karabakh, maintenance of parity
    in military assistance to Armenia and Azerbaijan and observance of
    section 907 of the Freedom Support Act.

    The Freedom Support Act (FSA) is the main mechanism for giving foreign
    aid to countries of the former Soviet Union. Section 907 prohibits
    certain types of direct U.S. assistance to the government of Azerbaijan
    until it has ended its aggression and lifted its blockades against
    Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.
