ANCA Rapid Responder Letter: Azerbaijan Attacking Artsakh: Stop the Genocide of 120,000 Armenian Christians

Dear President Biden / Vice-President Harris / State Department / National Security Council Representatives:

I am writing to urgently request your personal engagement to stop Azerbaijan’s genocide against Artsakh’s (Nagorno Karabakh) 120,000 indigenous Armenian Christian population.

On September 19th, after imposing a 9-month brutal blockade against Artsakh – a blatant attempt of genocide through starvation – Azerbaijan has attacked Artsakh, using heavy artillery and drones. Women and children are sheltering in bunkers as the indiscriminate attack on the civilian population continues. Civilian casualties have already been reported.

I urge you to take immediate action to publicly condemn Azerbaijan’s genocidal actions and ensure:

1) U.S. intervention to stop the Artsakh Genocide – consistent with our obligations under the Genocide Convention
2) An end to all U.S. military assistance to genocidal Azerbaijan – consistent with the FREEDOM Support Act
3) An American humanitarian airlift to Artsakh – consistent with America’s tradition of aiding at-risk populations

As you know, Azerbaijan’s aggression against the Armenian people has continued unabated since the 2020 war it launched. Over 100 Armenian prisoners of war remain in Azerbaijan’s illegal detention where they face torture, millennia-old Armenian cultural sites have been systematically desecrated and destroyed, and tens of thousands of civilians have been displaced as a result of Azerbaijan’s invasion and occupation of Armenia’s sovereign territory.

The situation is dire. My family and I look forward to hearing about the action the United States has taken on this matter as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
