Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let history repeat itself.
In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had begun over 100 years prior.
On this day of remembrance, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian people — and all people — to freedom, safety, and self-determination.
ՀՀ կառավարության և ժողովրդի աջակցությունը Իրանի ժողովրդին` իրանցիների տեղափոխման և մարդասիրական օգնության հարցերում, մեծ գնահատանքի է ար��անի։ Իրանի և Հայաստանի դարավոր կապը դժվար պահին կրկին ցույց տվեց իր ամրությունը, և եղբայրական այս քայլերը կմնան Իրանի ժողովրդի հիշողության մեջ։
Behind every registered Turkey/Azerbaijan lobbying effort in Washington, there's a darker, hidden world operating against Armenian interests - outside US gov't oversight.
ANCA's Elizabeth Chouldjian talks to @AlphaNewsAM (in Armenian) about the Apollo scandal & what it reveals
Our US Ambassador to Turkey looks up to Jeffrey Epstein, the most notorious child sex trafficker in world history, as his "ROLE MODEL."
In an email exchange (one of 540+ in the #EpsteinFiles) they pledged eternal loyalty to one another.

Pashinyan has disgraced Armenia on the world stage by reducing our nation to a stage prop in service of U.S. imperialism.
Just this month, Azerbaijan sentenced 16 Armenian hostages to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
Azerbaijan continues to destroy ancient Armenian churches, occupy sovereign Armenian territory, and deny displaced Armenians the right to return to their homes in Artsakh.
By divorcing peace from justice & accountability, the “Board of Peace” has reduced peace to little more than a euphemism for the pursuit of geopolitical ends; to “peace wash” some of the most odious regimes on earth for the sake of financial return.
By participating in this farce, Pashinyan has not only consented to Armenia’s own subjugation & dismemberment.
He has shamefully legitimized a process designed to circumvent & undermine international law, human rights, and transitional justice – where the victims of oppression are expected to suffer, while their tormentors are rewarded.
THE (FORMER) PRINCE AND THE PETRO-DICTATOR
Disgraced royal was a regular guest of Azerbaijani president-for-life Ilham Aliyev - visiting him in Baku at least a dozen times.
@VP Peace is made by justice. Freedom to all Armenian Hostages illegally held in Baku. Return of 120000 Armenians to their indigenous Christian land, Artsakh.
On the eve of Artsakh’s Independence Day, Anna Hakobyan chose to stand beside those responsible for the bloodshed of our people. While 10,000 Armenians have been killed, our ancestral lands remain under occupation, and more than two dozen of our compatriots languish illegally in Baku’s prisons, she smiled alongside our executioners instead of honoring the sacrifice of the nation.
This disgraceful display took place earlier today in China, at events hosted by the First Lady of China within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), where Hakobyan met with Mehriban Aliyeva, Azerbaijan’s vice president and wife of dictator Ilham Aliyev, and Emine Erdoğan, wife of Turkey’s president.
Pashinyan is selling out Armenia's sovereignty.
This isn't "peace" – but an abandonment of our independence, reducing Armenia to a pawn of neocolonial great power interests.
All while Azerbaijan tortures our POWs, erases our culture & occupies our land.

Join the ANCA in urging your U.S. Representative to co-sign a bipartisan Congressional letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio calling for urgent U.S. action to ensure justice and protection for Artsakh Armenian people and cultural heritage. https://t.co/3lI7ZHQ2RD
“In the next war, Armenia may completely lose its sovereignty, and the Azerbaijani army may drink Turkish tea in Yerevan.”
Azerbaijan doesn’t want peace — Aliyev’s regime will settle for nothing less than the complete subjugation of Armenia.
The ANCA’s Aram Hamparian spoke this morning - in the US Capitol - at the opening session of the International Religious Freedom Summit - raising Artsakh’s right to return, the freedom of Armenian hostages, and the urgent need to hold Azerbaijan accountable. #IRFSummit2025.
Americans of Armenian heritage are proud to be part of the diverse (and growing) array of faith-based and civil society groups backing U.S. Senate confirmation of @TulsiGabbard (A+ ANCA rating) as Director of National Intelligence.

@alexahenning@ArthurSchwartz
Consistent with his (10/23/24) condemnation of Azerbaijan’s ethnic-cleansing of Christian Armenians from Artsakh, I call on @realDonaldTrump to enforce Section 907 restrictions on American foreign aid to the genocidal Aliyev regime. #Enforce907#SaveArmenia

"It just doesn't work!" - @SenatorMenendez challenges @USAID Administrator Samantha @PowerUSAID on US failure to address Azerbaijan's ethnic cleansing of Artsakh, asking what more @POTUS@JoeBiden plans to do.
Amb. Power, while pledging more aid, makes no mention of US efforts to sanction Azerbaijan's genocidal actions or US efforts to ensure the secure return of forcibly displaced Armenians to their Artsakh homes.
Samantha Power traveled to Armenia last year to announce something less than $95 in funding per Artsakh refugee - of which only a fraction actually reached needy families.
She never condemned Azerbaijan's blockade or genocide of Artsakh - refusing even to call it a "crisis."
