submitted the following resolution2     
which was referred to the ,committee on 
,foreign ,affairs  ,,resolution         
,condemning ,azerbaijan's military      

operation in ,nagorno-,karabakh and     
denouncing ,turkish interference in the 
conflict4  ,whereas1 beginning on       
,september #bg1 #bjbj1 ,azerbaijan has  
engaged in the most significant military
 operation along the line of contact    
into ,nagorno-,karabakh since the       
signing of the cease-fire agreement     
between ,azerbaijan and ,armenia in     
#aiid2 ,whereas this attack follows     
increasingly aggressive rhetoric and    
destabilizing actions on the part of    
,azerbaijan ,president ,ilham ,aliyev's 
government toward ,nagorno-,karabakh and
 ,armenia1 including a ,july #bjbj      
,defense ,ministry threat to bomb       
,armenia's ,metsamor ,nuclear ,power    
,plant2 ,whereas ,azerbaijan's ongoing  
military offensive1 which includes the  
shelling of ,stepanakert1               
,nagorno-,karabakh's most densely       
populated city with a population of     
#ee1bjj1 has resulted in at least dozens
 of civilians killed and hundreds       
wounded and1 as of ,september #cj1      

#bjbj1 the threat to civilians          
continues2 ,whereas1 as of ,september   
#cj1 #bjbj1 the conflict has resulted in
 the deaths of at least #hd             
,nagorno-,karabakh servicemembers1 and  
both ,armenia and ,azerbaijan have      
declared martial law1 mobilized their   
,armed ,forces1 and called up ,reserve  
,forces2 ,whereas the ,guardian reports 
that ,azerbaijan's military actions in  
,nagorno-,karabakh may be part of a     
planned military operation2 ,whereas the
 conflict follows joint military        
exercises conducted by ,turkey and      
,azerbaijan in ,august #bjbj2 ,whereas1 
according to multiple reports1 including
 the ,washington ,post1 ,reuters1 and   
the ,guardian1 in the weeks prior to    
,azerbaijan's military operation ,turkey
 recruited mercenaries from ,syria and1 
as of ,september #bi1 #bjbj1 has        
facilitated their deployment to         
,azerbaijan2 ,whereas the ,,bbc1 ,new   
,york ,times1 and ,washington ,post have
 reported on the ,armenian ,foreign     

,ministry's claim that ,turkey is       
operating ,f-#af fighter jets in the    
region and the claim that on ,september 
#bi1 #bjbj1 ,turkey shot down an        
,armenian ,su-#be fighter jet in        
,armenian airspace1 killing the pilot2  
,whereas the conflict has the potential 
to escalate into proxy warfare among    
regional powers1 including ,turkey1 and 
to further entrench the conflict and    
threaten peace and stability in the     
region2 ,whereas the ,united ,states    
serves as a co-chair of the ,minsk      
,group along with ,france and ,russia1  
and the co-chairs have urged a          
cease-fire and urged the parties to     
return to substantive negotiations as   
soon as possible2 and ,whereas the      
,european ,union and the ,united        
,nations support a peaceful resolution  
and immediate cease-fire3 ,now1         
therefore1 be it ,that the ,house of    
,representatives-- 7#a7 condemns        
,azerbaijan's continued aggressive      
military operations in                  

,nagorno-,karabakh and breaches of the  
cease-fire agreement2  7#b7 denounces   
,turkey's reported participation in and 
escalation of the conflict under        
,president ,tayyip ,erdoan2  7#c7       
supports an immediate return to the     
cease-fire agreement along the line of  
contact between ,nagorno-,karabakh and  
,azerbaijan and a peaceful solution     
which protects all parties' human rights
 and joins with other countries         
supporting the same goals2 and  7#d7    
reaffirms ,united ,states support of the
 ,organization for ,security and        
,co-operation in ,europe ,minsk ,group  
efforts to secure an agreement from     
,azerbaijan to cease offensive military 
operations against ,nagorno-,karabakh   
and ,armenia and to accept independent  
third-party monitoring along the line of
 contact4
