ANCA Echoes Congressional Calls for Return of Armenians to Artsakh during U.S. talks with Armenian and Azerbaijani Officials<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) welcomed a joint statement by Congressional Armenian Caucus Co-Chairs Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ), Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and Rep. David Valadao (R-CA), calling on the Biden Administration to hold Azerbaijan accountable for its ethnic cleansing of Artsakh, facilitate the return of Armenians to Artsakh, and support Armenia’s sovereignty in the face of ongoing Azerbaijani aggression.

\u201cOur community, coalition partners, and Congressional allies are united in holding Azerbaijan accountable for its war crimes \u2013 from Aliyev\u2019s ethnic cleansing of Artsakh and destruction of Christian holy sites to his ongoing occupation of Armenian territory and illegal detention and abuse of Armenian prisoners,\u201d said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. “President Biden \u2013 having armed Azerbaijan\u2019s genocide of Artsakh \u2013 must now lead a global campaign for the safe and sustainable return of Armenians of Artsakh \u2013 under an international mandate, protected by international peacekeepers.\u201d

The Congressional Armenian Caucus statement, which coincides with the opening of the NATO Summit in Washington, DC, this week, calls on the Biden Administration to \u201censure Azerbaijan faces consequences for its actions and is not rewarded for war crimes, human rights abuses, and the ethnic cleansing of over 120,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh.\u201d

It goes on to note that, \u201cAmerica must support Armenia\u2019s sovereignty and reject Azerbaijan\u2019s aggressive demands. This means stopping military aid to Azerbaijan and sanctioning officials responsible for abuses.\u201d

It concludes, noting, \u201cAs leaders gather at the NATO Summit, the Biden Administration must ensure Azerbaijan follows international laws, including returning Armenian prisoners of war, protecting cultural heritage sites, upholding the right of Armenians to return to their homes in Nagorno-Karabakh under international guarantees. Accountability is crucial for lasting peace in the South Caucasus.\u201d

The foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan are in Washington, D.C., during the NATO Summit and are expected to have bilateral meetings with US government officials.
