Letter to U.S. Senators who have not yet signed the Markey-Whitehouse Letter
Subject: Please Cosign Markey-Whitehouse Letter Urging Action to Free Armenian POWs
Dear Senator,
I am writing as your constituent to urge you to cosign the Senate letter led by Senators Ed Markey and Sheldon Whitehouse to Secretary of State Marco Rubio pressing for immediate action to secure the release of Armenian prisoners of war, civilian captives, and Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) political leaders still held illegally by Azerbaijan.
This letter calls on the Administration to:
• Demand the unconditional release of all Armenian hostages, political prisoners, and POWs;
• Press Azerbaijan to allow international observers and independent media to monitor ongoing trials;
• Impose sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act on Azerbaijani officials responsible for grave abuses.
The United States must not remain silent in the face of Azerbaijan’s ongoing anti-Armenian aggression. By cosigning this letter, you will send a clear message that America stands for justice, accountability, and the protection of basic human rights.
I urge you to add your name today.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
