Glendale City Council in the USA Adopts Resolution Recognizing the Independence of the Republic of Artsakh

The Glendale City Council in the USA has adopted a resolution recognizing the independence of the Republic of Artsakh.

“The Republic of Artsakh, also known as Nagorno-Karabakh, is historically an Armenian territory, where the majority of the population has always been Armenian. Since September 27, 2020, Armenian schools, hospitals, churches, and homes in Artsakh and Armenia have been subjected to attacks by Turkey and Azerbaijan, aimed at continuing genocidal policies.

The Glendale City Council recognizes the independence of the Republic of Artsakh and calls on the Republic of Artsakh to continue developing as a free and independent state. Furthermore, the Council officially urges the President of the United States and the U.S. Congress to recognize the independence of the Republic of Artsakh, with the purpose of establishing peace and stability in the region of the Armenian Highlands (South Caucasus),” states the resolution.

It is noteworthy that the resolution on the recognition of Artsakh's independence was authored by Glendale Mayor Vrej Agajanyan.
