Cox posted the following to Facebook: "Azerbaijan's recent attack on the region of Tavush, Armenia is a violation of the ceasefire agreement between the nations, as well as a result of Azerbaijan's refusal to allow international monitoring of their borders. The US must take a firm stance in condemning this threat to peace.
This is why I've co-sponsored an amendment introduced by Rep. Brad Sherman to H.R. 6395 - the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021- that would prohibit funds from being used to send defense articles or services to Azerbaijan."

I will continue working with my bipartisan colleagues in Congress, the Armenian National Committee of America ANCA, and The HALO Trust to secure federal funding, which will allow us to achieve a mine-free Artsakh."

Cox posted the following to Facebook: "I was proud to join the City of Fresno and Congressman Jim Costa this morning in commemorating the Armenian Genocide. One hundred and four years ago today, marked the beginning of the Ottoman Turks systematic deportation and murder of over 1.5 million Christian Armenians, Greeks, and Assyrians.
To this day, however, neither the President of the United States nor Congress have recognized this tragedy as what it is: genocide. This does not do justice to the vibrant Armenian-American community in the Central Valley who have never forgotten the pain of their ancestors and continue to advocate for justice with passion and persistence.
Today, Im proud to be their voice in the U.S. Congress and Im committed to pushing for official recognition of the Armenian Genocide in our nation. We must learn from this atrocity and continue to advocate for the protection of human rights for the Armenian people, and for all."
