Congresswoman Esmerita Sanchez de Da Silva and Congressman Amado Florentin sponsored this resolution which is the first step towards strengthening the ties between both nations, according to the source.
Moreover, Nicolas Cesar Benitez Saguier, advisor on immigration affairs, also contributed to this important process, the diplomatic source added.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the UN Security Council`s four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
