ANCA Burbank Commends the City Council and Welcomes the Move
BURBANK The Burbank City Council on Tuesday unanimously voted to recognize Artsakh as an independent republic and at the same time rescinded the Burbank-Hadrut Friendship City status while the city remains under the illegal Azerbaijani occupation.
