The Congress finds that—

menians and Azeris have died as a result of a con-
flict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, which had
been a part of Azerbaijan since 1923;
(2) the United Nations estimates that there are
currently over 1,000,000 refugees in Azerbaijan;
(3) 85 percent of the people of Azerbaijan cur-
rently live in poverty;
(4) ethnic Armenian forces currently control the
Nagorno-Karabakh region, as well as 25 percent of
Azerbaijan;
(5) Armenia is currently preventing trade from
reaching Nakhichevan, a part of Azerbaijan which is
separated from the rest of the country by Armenian
territory;
(6) in 1993, the United Nations Security Coun-
cil condemned offensive military action by ethnic Ar-
menian forces outside of the Nagorno-Karabakh re-
gion through Resolutions 822, 853, 874, and 884;
(7) in 1992, the Congress passed the Freedom
for Russia and Emerging Eurasian Democracies and
Open Markets Support Act of 1992 to provide as-
sistance to the independent states of the former So-
viet Union;
(8) section 907 of such Act prohibits all United
States assistance, including humanitarian and medi-
cal assistance, to the Government of Azerbaijan be-
cause that Government had cut off trade and taken
other offensive uses of force against ethnic Arme-
nians in the Nagorno-Karabakh region in the early
1990s; and

and humanitarian situation in Armenia and Azer-

tivities are no longer limited to one side or the other
in this conflict.
