Rep. Chris Smith introduced a resolution to enact sanctions against Azerbaijan in order to stop its "ethnic cleansing" of the ethnic Armenian breakaway Republic of Artsakh.
“The Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh have, as ever, every right to continue to live in their ancient homeland—and to do so in safety,” Smith said. “My legislation will bring some relief and push the Biden Administration to act now to save innocent lives in the region." A senior adviser to the Armenian government, speaking with the Washington Examiner on condition of anonymity last week, speculated that the only likely scenario in which ethnic Armenians would stay in the Nagorno-Karabakh region is if international peacekeepers were sent to ensure their security.
"The prevailing logic is if you stay, you're going to be massacred," the adviser said."Unless there are international peacekeepers or international instruments protecting this population, this population isn't going to stay there because ... you know, it's a matter of time before Azerbaijanis have killed them."
