Swiss Lawmakers to Brief U.S. Policymakers on Nagorno-Karabakh Right of Return

Swiss parliamentarians Erich Vontobel and Lukas Reimann will join former Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian and Christian Solidarity International (CSI) President Dr. John Eibner for a Capitol Hill briefing on Tuesday, July 8th, spotlighting Switzerland’s international leadership through the “Swiss Peace Initiative for Nagorno-Karabakh,” an effort to help secure the safe and dignified return of Nagorno-Karabakh’s indigenous Armenian population, the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) reported.

The Washington, D.C. briefing follows the May 26th launch of the “Swiss Peace Initiative for Nagorno-Karabakh” in Bern, Switzerland. This initiative stems from Motion No. 24.4259, adopted by both houses of the Swiss Federal Assembly, which mandates the Swiss government to convene a peace forum to facilitate internationally mediated dialogue between Azerbaijan and representatives of the displaced Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh.
