California State Senate Passes Bill Recognizing Artsakh as Sovereign State

The California State Senate has passed Assembly Joint Resolution 32 with a majority vote of 23-0, recognizing the Nagorno Karabakh Republic (Artsakh) as a sovereign state.

The Resolution, authored by Assemblymember Mike Gatto (D-Los Angeles), passed in the State Assembly in May.  State Senator Kevin De Leon (D-Los Angeles) spearheaded the resolution through the State Senate.

AJR 32 calls for the United States to recognize the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic as a sovereign state, invokes strong language from the United States’ own history regarding the rights of the people to “self-determination and democratic independence.”

"The passage of this important resolution was a long and challenging journey that started with the introduction of this resolution back in January.  We worked so hard to make it move forward, and we are so proud today that the California State Senate stood with me in support of the people of Artsakh in their ongoing quest for freedom, democracy and independence." stated Assemblymember Gatto. 

"We are very pleased that the State Senate has passed the Resolution," said Sevak Khatchadorian Chairman of the Armenian Council of America. "Our State representatives recognize and acknowledge the people of Artsakh's right to self-determination, who value democracy and freedom, and they have demonstrated this today by voting in favor of AJR 32."
