(Washington, D.C.) Congressman Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL) and Senator Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD), Co-Chairmen of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission), and Ranking Minority Member Congressman Christopher H. Smith (R-NJ), sent the following letter to Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliev. The letter expresses concern over the impending termination of the radio broadcasts of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) and Voice of America (VOA) on local frequencies. In particular, the letter urges President Aliev to keep RFE/RL and VOA on the air, as he begins a new relationship with President-elect Barack Obama.
Thank you for visiting the United States Helsinki Commission website. The Commission, which was founded in 1976, contributes to the formulation of U.S. policy on the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
