Neither has in any way renounced or reversed these reckless, irresponsible, and genocide-aligned policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We remain engaged with both parties and welcome their WORDS of support for Armenian American policy priorities \u2013 recognizing that campaign statements do help set a rough benchmark for the framing of our issues in Washington, DC moving forward but \u2013 given our own experience \u2013 clearly do not represent any sort of contractual commitment for actual policy once in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We must remember, however, that these statements \u2013 made by the Americans seeking to lead our nation \u2013 are, in fact, the result of our work \u2013 the standing and respect we have earned through relentless grassroots fieldwork in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona and other swing states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Politicians are seeking to earn our votes, which is how our democracy is supposed to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we are encouraged by the competition for our support, the bottom line remains that words are not enough. Neither major party candidate has delivered the concrete results that they are capable of delivering BEFORE election day. For we are long past the day when we will place our faith in all too often hollow campaign pledges about what candidates will do AFTER they are elected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are actions that can be taken today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">REPUBLICANS: For example, President Trump can publicly call on Speaker Johnson to pass H.R.7288 \u2013 enforcing the Section 907 restriction on U.S. aid to Azerbaijan. JD Vance, as a sitting U.S. Senator, can cosponsor S.Res.540 \u2013 scrutinizing Azerbaijan\u2019s use of U.S. aid to commit anti-Armenian war crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DEMOCRATS: Vice President Harris can announce the Administration\u2019s official enforcement of Section 907, the application of Magnitsky sanctions against Azerbaijan, and a refusal to participate in COP29 until all Armenian hostages are released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All this being said, we are profoundly proud and encouraged by our community\u2019s robust participation in this year\u2019s election cycle and gratified to see the candidates competing for our votes \u2013 seeking to earn our trust. That is a tribute to our fellow Americans of Armenian heritage \u2013 who have emerged as a pivotal electoral constituency \u2013 able to act strategically \u2013 leveraging our collective resources \u2013 to center Artsakh\u2019s survival and Armenia\u2019s security in the national political arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re frustrated about how your favored candidate is being perceived by Armenian American voters, do your best to bring your candidate around \u2013 to have them hold Baku accountable, deter renewed Azerbaijani aggression, secure the release of Armenian hostages, and pave a pathway for the return of Armenians to Artsakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Acting without fear or favor, the ANCA will not lower our community\u2019s standards to embrace or endorse any candidate, but will, rather, bring increased vigor and devotion to the noble cause of raising the candidates to our fair standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep up the pressure. It\u2019s working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) Executive Director Aram Hamparian explains the ANCA\u2019s non-endorsement in the 2024 U.S. Presidential elections, in this commentary shared widely on social media.
