On the recordFebruary 14, 1995
I rise in support of the Humanitarian Aid Corridor Act. This bill would withhold assistance from any country that blocks the delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance to another country. Passage of this proposal would benefit directly situations such as that found in the Republic of Armenia. It is in our American interest to foster the great economic and political promise of Armenia by assuring a free flow of humanitarian assistance. Yet, Armenians are freezing and starving because Turkey has closed it borders to American assistance destined for land-locked Armenia. The Humanitarian Aid Corridor Act would protect Armenia by making Turkey answerable for its acts. Turkey would have a choice: either bring to an end its blockade of humanitarian assistance for Armenia or lose its own foreign aid.
