The Armenian National Committee of the Merrimack Valley (ANC-MV), accompanied by ANC-ER representative, Steve Mesrobian, held an in-person consultative meeting with Congressman Seth Moulton, 6th-MA and congressional aide Caroline Jones (via zoom) to discuss the current humanitarian crisis in Artsakh, and the frequent Azeri ceasefire violations being committed against both Artsakh and Armenia. Representative Moulton expressed deep concern upon being updated on the severe hardship experienced by the 120,000 Armenian men, women, and children caused by blockade of the Lachin Corridor. Specific requests to Congressman Moulton included putting pressure through the Armenian Caucus to have Samatha Powers, USAID Administrator, provide critically life-saving supplies to Artsakh, and to co-sponsor House Resolutions H Res.108 condemning Azerbaijan's blockade of Artsakh and on-going human rights violations, and H.Res.320 recognizing the Republic of Artsakh's independence and the impact of the ongoing blockade of the Lachin corridor. The ANC-MV expressed its appreciation to Congressman Moulton for the meeting, and looks forward to Moulton’s increased attention to the crisis in Artsakh and protection of human and civil rights of Artsakh Armenians.
