The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) reiterated its profound disappointment with the Trump-Pence Administration’s reckless appeasement of Azerbaijan, which enabled the Aliyev regime’s genocidal assault on Artsakh in 2020 and established a precedent of impunity in the face of Azerbaijan’s widely documented war crimes.

“Following the example of successive administrations, the Trump-Pence Administration waived Section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act in all four years of its term – lifting restrictions on U.S. assistance to Azerbaijan due to its blockades of Armenia and Artsakh, as established by the 1992 law.

In light of Donald J. Trump’s nomination and the ascension of Senator JD Vance as the vice presidential nominee, Armenian American voters expect the Trump-Vance campaign to condemn Azerbaijan’s ethnic cleansing of Artsakh and endorse Congressional efforts to hold Azerbaijan accountable for its crimes against humanity,” the ANCA said in a statement.
