Armenians want peace

Erasing Nagorno Karabakh is NOT peace

Normalizing ethnic-cleansing is NOT peace

Abandoning Christian holy sites is NOT peace

Forsaking Armenian hostages/POWs is NOT peace

Accepting Azeri occupation of Armenia is NOT peace

Peace at gunpoint is NOT peace

[ANCA @ANCA_DC]

White House Reporter: What about Armenians returning to Nagorno Karabakh?

Trump: Ignores question.

Pashinyan: Ignores question.

Aliyev: Ignores question.

Pope Leo XIV: Stand with Armenia

Armenia - the world's first Christian nation (301 AD) - is today one of the planet's most at-risk countries, a blockaded, landlocked genocide survivor state struggling to survive on the very frontiers of global faith and freedom.

Today I led @RepGusBilirakis, @RepTedLieu, and @RepDavidValadao in reintroducing bipartisan legislation to promote accurate and effective education about the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian Genocide Education Act establishes a new program in the Library of Congress tasked with developing educational resources on why and how the Armenian Genocide happened. @ANCA_DC

This is not a peace deal - it's an agreement "negotiated" by Armenia at the point of an Azerbaijani gun, under threat of renewed genocide. - ANCA's Aram Hamparian, speaking to Aram Sargsyan of Euromedia24

Next time he's in DC, Erdogan, instead of being greeted at the White House, should be met at the airport with an arrest warrant - for the 2017 attack he directed at peaceful American protesters in Sheridan Circle. #ArrestErdogan

Over the past two election cycles - 2022 (Oz vs Fetterman) and 2024 (Harris vs Trump) - Armenian Americans have emerged as a pivotal voting block, respected for our ability to impact swing states & districts.

In 2026 we will help decide control of Congress & key governorships.

Please see this important update on my client @RubenVardanyan_’s situation. One week later, his blood pressure is up to 140/11 and he has lost six kgs (13 lbs) & the #Azerbaijan military court refused five motions to postpone the trial and insisted Ruben attend, despite his being on the verge of passing out. #HumanRights

Artsakh is high on the ANCA agenda, as are our Armenian hostages.

Help us hold Azerbaijan accountable, aid Artsakh refugees - forging a pathway back to Artsakh, end Azerbaijani occupation of Armenia, and secure justice for the Armenian Genocide.

In a lengthy interview today, Azerbaijan’s dictator Ilham Aliyev issued new threats against Armenia, accusing it of being a fascist state and warning of further escalation if demands are not met.

“Arming Armenia will only bring new tensions. We don’t want this,” Aliyev said, adding that “a fascist state has been formed in Armenia. That fascism will either be destroyed by Armenia’s leadership or by us. There is no other option.”

Aliyev emphasized his vision for peace and cooperation in the South Caucasus, but with conditions that undermine Armenia’s sovereignty. “Armenia should not stand in our way. They should not act as a geographic barrier between Turkey and Azerbaijan. Armenia is effectively a source of threat to the region,” he stated.

Aliyev also dismissed the necessity of a peace treaty with Armenia: “If Yerevan doesn’t need a peace treaty, then Baku doesn’t need it either. We can live without a peace treaty.”

Aliyev revealed that Azerbaijan has proposed holding the next meeting of border delimitation commissions in January. He reiterated Azerbaijan’s insistence on the opening of the so-called “Zangezur Corridor,” which would connect Azerbaijan to Turkey via Armenia.

“The ‘Zangezur Corridor’ must be opened and will be opened. The sooner they understand this, the better,” Aliyev declared.

These remarks highlight Azerbaijan’s escalating rhetoric and potential plans for further military aggression against Armenia.

Azerbaijan has destroyed more churches in Artsakh than ISIS did in Iraq.

A new electoral map has emerged - driven by a diverse and highly motivated array of ethnic, faith & issues based voters - united behind the simple proposition that our US foreign policy should reflect the actual values of the American people not the narrow interests of DC elites
