Senate Votes 100-0 To End Aid to Azerbaijan As War Concerns Grow

In a rare display of widespread bipartisanship, the Senate voted 100-0 to cease aid to Azerbaijan for the next two years amid concerns that the country might soon invade neighboring Armenia.

All senators unanimously approved the Armenian Protection Act through unanimous consent. Senator Gary Peters (D-Mich.) introduced the legislation.

The measure’s passing follows the departure of over 100,000 Armenians from the contested Nagorno-Karabakh region due to an ongoing Azerbaijani siege that has endured for more than nine months. Armenia has levied accusations of ethnic cleansing against Azerbaijan.

“We must send a strong message and show our partners around the world that America will enforce the conditions that we attach to military aid,”
