 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Condemns: (1) the attacks on innocent children, women, and men in Armenian areas and communities in and around Nagorno-Karabakh; and (2) the indiscriminate use of force, including the shelling of civilian areas, on Armenia's eastern and southern borders.

Calls for: (1) the end to the blockades and use of force and intimidation directed against Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh; (2) the withdrawal of Soviet forces newly deployed for the purpose of intimidation; (3) dialogue among all parties involved as the only acceptable route to achieving a lasting resolution of the conflict; and (4) an immediate end to deportations of Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh and the freedom for all refugees to return to their homes.

Reconfirms the U.S. commitment to the success of democracy and self-determination in the Soviet Union and its republics by expressing its deep concern about any Soviet retribution, intimidation, or leverage against such republics.
