During his 2024 presidential campaign, he repeatedly condemned Azerbaijan\u2019s ethnic cleansing of Artsakh\u2019s Armenian population, spotlighting the forced displacement of over 120,000 Armenian Christians in 2023. He called out the U.S. foreign policy establishment for enabling Azerbaijan through military aid, stating, \u201cIt\u2019s shameful that US taxpayer dollars have been used to fund the persecution of Armenian Christians by Azerbaijan.\u201d Ramaswamy welcomed the Senate\u2019s passage of the Armenian Protection Act of 2023, which blocked military aid to Azerbaijan, describing it as \u201cthe right step.\u201d<br><br>\u00a0His advocacy extended to public platforms, including interviews with Tucker Carlson and Piers Morgan, where he criticized the lack of media coverage on Azerbaijan\u2019s crimes and joined ANCA protesters at a Miami rally to demand accountability. At the Hudson Institute, he addressed Azerbaijan\u2019s destruction of Armenian cultural heritage, raising awareness about the conversion and demolition of historic churches in Artsakh. Ramaswamy\u2019s commitment continued into 2024, when he aligned with President Donald Trump and Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance in condemning the persecution of Armenian Christians.<br><br>In Ohio, Ramaswamy engaged directly with the Armenian American community, attending a reception at Armenian Estates in Genoa Township, hosted by the family of Ty Safaryan, where he was introduced by longtime ANC-Ohio leader David Krikorian. His presence underscored his dedication to listening to and amplifying Armenian American concerns.<br><br>\u201cVivek Ramaswamy has stood with our community, just as we stand with him \u2013 supporting his bid to serve as Ohio\u2019s next governor,\u201d said ANC-Ohio\u2019s David Krikorian. \u201cWe need truth-tellers like Vivek \u2013 at the state and national levels \u2013 leaders willing to fearlessly confront Azerbaijan\u2019s aggression and call for cuts in U.S. aid to this genocidal dictatorship.\u201d<br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cites Strong Record of Support on Issues of Special Concern to the Buckeye State\u2019s Armenian Americans The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) is proud to endorse Vivek Ramaswamy for Governor of Ohio in the 2026 election based upon his consistent and vocal support for Armenian issues \u2013 most notably holding Azerbaijan accountable for its [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23682,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[115],"tags":[126,382],"class_list":["post-23681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-anca","tag-382"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
