An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Peace for Armenians

11 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

I'm writing you again today to ask you to take more action to help end the violence against Armenians in Karabakh-Artsakh. The world continues to murmur "Don't, stop," but fails to take any solid action that will push Azerbaijan and Turkey to stop their aggression. Some good actions would be as follows: --Stop US arms deliveries and sales to Azerbaijan and Turkey. --Ask Israel to halt deliveries and sales of arms to Azerbaijan. --Take steps you remove Turkey from NATO if they don't ensure an end to attacks by Azerbaijan. --Place an embargo on Turkey and Azerbaijan if they don't halt bombing of Armenians. --Recognize Artsakh as an independent Republic if Turkey and Azerbaijan do not stop the bombing. The US still has a role to play in the world even if Trump fails to be the leader we need. Please do all you can to press for peace. Please read and make sure you're informed about the injustices committed by Azerbaijan against their own people and against Armenians starting in the 1980s. This is no mere land war, this is ethnic violence. And I include this article that speaks to the inhumane nature of Azeris: https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/w/azeri-forces-accused-beheading-armenian-soldier?fbclid=IwAR0ViooSq_4o70Ecv-qt16k7taLzjGYS1nvbTJq1qtp3BUbmfJkzeHD5qz8 I would also add that I ask you to take some similar actions to help the peaceful protesters in Nigeria. The despots of the world are using this moment of distraction by the pandemic and economic disruption to do things that democratic leaders would not normally allow. Thank you for your time and consideration.
