“. . .[Ottoman] Govt officials in a mocking way ask what the Americans are going to do with these [religious, school, orphanage] establishments now that the Armenians are being done away with.”
3 Aug 1915: US Consul Jackson reports 1000s of Armenians already deported via Aleppo.
In recent communication with the ANCC, Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Hon. Mélanie Joly reaffirmed that “Canada will continue to press Azerbaijan to engage in good faith with Armenia, resolve the conflict through a negotiated and peaceful political solution by respecting the Helsinki Principles, liberate arbitrary held Armenian prisoners, respect Armenia’s territorial integrity and refrain from the use of force and threatening rhetoric.”

Azerbaijan continues to erase Armenian history and culture from Artsakh by destroying the "Greater and Lesser Syunik" monument, as shown by satellite images from Monument Watch.
In 2023, during Azerbaijan's blockade of Artsakh and the invasion of the Berdzor corridor, the "Greater and Lesser Syunik" or "Motherland" monument fell under Azerbaijani occupation.
Built in 2004 to symbolize the unity between Artsakh and Syunik, the "Greater and Lesser Syunik" monument was partially moved by the Armenian side on April 3, 2023, when they relocated the khachkar (cross-stone).
Google satellite maps show that the monument was leveled in April 2024.
Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) is being considered as a VP pick!
Sen. Peters has an A+ rating from the Armenian National Committee of America - @ANCA_DC - having spearheaded unanimous Senate passage of S.3000 to end US military aid to Azerbaijan.
Very worrying development. If this is established it'll immensely discredit @UniofOxford . "Studies in Azerbaijan" usually are self-ascertaining themselves to the detriment of Armenian history, denying 2.500 years of unquestionable academic research&inventing fairy tales.
Azerbaijani state media amped up AZ's fabricated Armenian ceasefire violation claim from two days ago; now alleging the US, France, and the EU asked Armenia to violate the ceasefire to test "new weapons" on AZ and see how their armed forces would react.
Comment by @ArmSpoxMFA
The Armenian side suggested holding a bilateral meeting btw Prime Minister of #Armenia & President of #Azerbaijan on the sidelines of the European Political Community summit, underway in the UK, however, the Azerbaijani side rejected the proposal. The offer of the Armenian side still stands.
The Armenian side also reiterates its proposal to intensify the negotiations on the highest levels & to reach the signing of the peace treaty within one month.
FACT: @PowerUSAID has spent more money on photographers, videographers, social media & general PR than she did on US humanitarian programs in Artsakh, both prior to and during Azerbaijan's blockade
In fact she consistently refused to cause Baku's starvation of Artsakh a crisis
Senator JD Vance’s - @JDVance1 - public record on issues of special concern to Armenian American voters:
- In an October, 2023 memo to Congressional leaders, Senator Vance highlighted "the rapid overthrow of the cease-fire agreement in Nagorno Karabakh by Azerbaijan and the exodus of an ancient Christian community.”

- In a January 2024 letter to Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen, Senator Vance voiced opposition to the proposed sale of Remington Arms to Czechoslovak Group - a controversial firm that has been implicated in "violations of the arms embargo to Azerbaijan."
