The House of Representatives of the US Congress did not accept the anti-Azerbaijani amendments proposed by the pro-Armenian congressmen to the country's draft defense budget for the 2023 fiscal year.
The National Defense Authority Act (NDAA), which includes an $858 billion defense budget, received 350 votes, US Bureau of Report said.
Pro-Armenian congressmen - Democrats Adam Schiff, Frank Pellon, Judy Chu and Republican Gus Bilirakis voted against the document.
Under current rules, the bill must pass a vote in the US Senate, and then be submitted to the signature of the president.
