I appreciate that, and I support everything you just said, but it still begs the question that without much complaint Azerbaijan is now occupying part of Armenia--strategic part of Armenia--and there has been no real protest about their controlling the highlands next to Nagorno-Karabakh that puts Armenia at tremendous risk of the corridor that could divide the country or lose its southern edge, and I have not seen much of a fuss made by the international community.
I often speak about the importance of adhering to our values and our foreign policy.
The Department of State and the work of our diplomats do every day has never been more important.
This country was founded on a unique basis in the words of our Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal.
