On the matter of Azerbaijan, I understand that the House included a provision which would imply separate legal status to Nagorno-Karabagh, a region of Azerbaijan. The international community, through the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe has already recognized the current borders of Azerbaijan as constituting its territorial integrity. Thus, a separate legal status for Nagorno-Karabagh is opposed by the international community and is against the policy of the United States. I understand, again, that the subcommittee struck the provision.
