ANCA expects Marco Rubio to take a firm stance on military assistance to Azerbaijan: Garen Jinbashian

Efforts to defend Armenian interests in Congress are continuing, while a letter addressed to  @SecRubio  seeks to prevent restrictions on military assistance to 🇦🇿 from being circumvented.
According to  @Garenjinbash , outreach to members of Congress & raising the concerns of Armenian communities are key areas of  @ANCA_DC  work.
Addressing U.S. military assistance to 🇦🇿, he noted that American law—under Section 907—restricts such support to Baku, although the president may waive these restrictions annually. Jinbashian said the letter to Rubio is intended to reiterate these legal provisions and urge him not to allow them to be bypassed.
“The letter has already reached Rubio’s office, & we are now awaiting a response. It is important that he make the right decision based on what is actually happening,” the ANCA representative said.
