CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY DAILY MONITOR SEES LIVINGSTON'S ELEVATION TO SPEAKER AS A PLUS FOR AZERBAIJAN
|
Falls Church, VA: The influential Capitol Hill publication Congressional Quarterly Daily Monitor reports that Appropriations Chairman Bob Livingston's selection as Speaker is viewed by sources in Congress as paving the way toward direct U.S. financial support for the Azerbaijani government.
"Clearly, the battle to maintain Section 907 is not over," said Zanku Armenian, National Co-Chairman of the AADLC. "As in the past, we will work with our friends and allies, in the Armenian American community and in Congress, to maintain a principled foreign aid policy which neither rewards aggression nor subsidizes governments which violate the basic rights of their own citizens."
"The key to our success, as always, is grassroots participation in the political process, and we hope to continue to serve as a catalyst in mobilizing our Democratic friends and supporters in the community to ensure that the voice of Armenian Americans is heard in the legislative process," added Armenian.
