On January 23, a petition was posted on the White House`s website to pay close attention to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and recognize the occupation of 20 percent of Azerbaijan’s territories.
More than 100,000 had already voted for the petition on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict on “We the People” page.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict became known as one of the most tragic conflicts in the 20th century and affected the destiny of millions of Azerbaijanis. As a result of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict 20 percent of Azerbaijan`s lands, including Nagorno-Karabakh and 7 adjacent regions were occupied by Armenian military forces and more than one million Azerbaijanis IDPs. The UN Security Council ratified four resolutions (No 822, 853, 874, 884) on the Armenia's withdrawal from Azerbaijan lands. But Armenians have not yet fulfilled the resolutions.
The signing date for the petition expires on February 22, but signatures are still coming.
Some 100,000 electronic signatures were required to be collected in accordance with the petition under the "We the people" campaign, for President Barack Obama to issue a statement on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. According to the U.S. Constitution, following the collection of the required number of signatures the White House has to make a statement that reflects the interests of the signatories.
AzerTAc also congratulates the Azerbaijani people, and hopes that the U.S. President will make a historical statement on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
