Frank Pallone: U.S. should recognize Nagorno Karabakh
I believe personally that the United States should recognize Nagorno Karabakh, Frank Pallone Jr., the New Jersey Democrat who is a founding co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues, said. "I certainly would be willing to do whatever I can to have that happen," he said
However, according to him, it will be difficult, because a lot of members of Congress are not that familiar with the subject. "I assume that the State Department would be against it, and I am not sure how much Armenia itself would be pushing for it. So it would probably be hard to do," Frank Pallone said.
"And while I support recognition of NKR, I do not know if the Armenian community wants to prioritize that. The community has to prioritize the issues and spend their time on things that are more likely (to be successfully accomplished)]. And since this issue would be difficult, I would not recommend that they prioritize it, "congressman saidin an interview to Armenian reporter.
