The Armenian people are facing crisis once again

Jan 25 2023

.

Azerbaijan has blocked the only road connecting Nagorno-Karabakh (known as Artsakh in Armenian) to Armenia and the outside world since December 12. This most recent aggression leaves 120,000 people in Artsakh under siege, unable to access medical supplies, food and fuel as the region experiences harsh winter conditions.

This is the second time in just two years that Azerbaijan has committed a clear violation of human rights. It must be condemned by the international community yet again.

In 2021, we celebrated with our Armenian sisters and brothers when President Joe Biden formally recognized the Armenian Genocide after 106 years. The announcement was to be the beginning of expanded support as the president pledged for the first time that the promise of “Never Again” included the Armenian people.

Now is the time for the Biden Administration to hold up to that promise.

Jewish World Watch calls for an immediate end to unprovoked aggression and for the Biden Administration to take decisive action and halt United States military assistance to Azerbaijan until the blockade is lifted. The international community must protect the safety and well-being of the Armenian people in Artsakh, and Azerbaijan must be held accountable for its actions.

Please sign this emergency letter to President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken urging them to take action.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
