Co-Chair of the Congressional Azerbaijan Caucus, Dan Boren, released a statement on 22nd anniversary of Black January.
"I note that January 20 marked the 22nd anniversary of an historic and tragic day in the history of the country of Azerbaijan", - said in a statement.
According to Boren, United States was among the first nations to recognize independence of this young country. It established diplomatic relations with Azerbaijan on February 28, 1992, and opened an embassy in Baku in March of that year.
"Today, Azerbaijan has developed into a thriving country with sustainable economic growth and developing democratic institutions. The United States and Azerbaijan are cooperating on a broad range of issues and share a common vision for the future of the region and beyond.
I encourage my colleagues to join with me today in standing with Azerbaijanis as they commemorate this tragedy", - said in a statement.
