Noubar Afeyan issues global call to prevent second Armenian genocide

 The Aurora Humanitarian Initiative announced that Co-Founder Noubar Afeyan has issued a global call to action to prevent a second Armenian genocide, on the 109th anniversary of Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day.

Afeyan made the global call to action in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The London Times, as well as on global social media channels. 

“Even as we mourn the past, history is repeating itself. Armenians are once again the target of ethnic cleansing, political leaders are unlawfully held as hostages, and the country of Armenia faces existential threats to its sovereignty and self-determination,” Afeyan said, calling on the Azerbaijani government to restore peace in the region and act with justice towards the prisoners it has unlawfully captured.
