04/29/26 - Rep. Costa tweeted "Just last week, we gathered in Fresno to mark the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
Now, Azerbaijan has confirmed that they demolished the iconic Holy Mother of God Cathedral in Stepanakert a stark reminder that the erasure of Armenian cultural heritage and Christian history is still continuing even more than 100 years later.
We must continue to stand with the Armenian people and ensure the world does not ignore these continued crimes."

Our Armenian community deserves better."

Costa tweeted "Sham trials conducted by the Baku regime to sentence Armenian prisoners of war to life in prison are an outrageous abuse of power and a clear violation of international law. Taking place on the eve of the Vice Presidents visit, this move is especially offensive. Vice President Vance must publicly call for the immediate release of these POWs while in Azerbaijan next week."

His historical views against the Armenian people are being used to demonstrate how far this Administration will go to stretch the truth. The Armenian-American community has long contributed to the diversity of the San Joaquin Valley, state, and our nation. As we move forward, I continue to stand with the Armenian community against injustice and anti-Armenian hate, we must never forget."
