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.
The Act has significantly advanced accountability for human rights violations around the world.
The Department of State and the work of our diplomats do every day has never been more important.
