Trump Condemns Biden-Harris Administration for Inaction on Armenian Christians’ Persecution in Artsakh

Republican Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump condemned the Biden-Harris Administration’s inaction in the face of the persecution and forced displacement of Artsakh’s Armenian Christians, and pledged to “stop the violence and ethnic cleansing and […] restore PEACE between Armenia and Azerbaijan”, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).

“Kamala Harris did NOTHING as 120,000 Armenian Christians were horrifically persecuted and forcibly displaced in Artsakh. Christians around the World will not be safe if Kamala Harris is President of the United States. When I am President, I will protect persecuted Christians, I will work to stop the violence and ethnic cleansing, and we will restore PEACE between Armenia and Azerbaijan,” stated Trump on his Truth Social account on October 23rd.

Biden in his letter to Pashinyan:  my administration is prepared to take bold initiatives

US President Joe Biden sent a letter to the Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. The letter specifically states:

"Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

I am pleased to see that your nation and Azerbaijan have made steady progress towards finalizing a peace agreement that would normalize relations between your two countries. I want to assure you that the United States stands ready to support a durable and dignified peace agreement that would finally put to rest centuries of conflict.

A peace agreement that safeguards Armenia's unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity would not only provide security and stability for the Armenian people. It would transform the entire South Caucasus region. As you know, finalizing the remaining articles of the peace agreement will require persistence, ingenuity, and compromise. But putting patriotism above politics, you have courageously and consistently chosen the path of peace - and I encourage you to finalize an agreement this year.

As you do, my administration is prepared to take bold initiatives that would help pave the way for peace. I have asked my Senior Director for Europe, Michael Carpenter to brief you on some of the steps we would be willing to take and get your feedback on discussions with Azerbaijan.

As we were reminded last month at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, now is the moment to recommit to the United Nations Charter and its fundamental principles of peace. A brighter future is within reach, and I look forward to working with you to seize it."

Armenia, Russia, and Azerbaijan's Communication Commission in Limbo

The Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia, Mher Grigoryan, informed reporters before a session of the Standing Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Relations that the commission between Armenia, Russia, and Azerbaijan, aimed at unblocking regional communications, is not functioning due to a lack of consensus.

Ombudsman of Artsakh Criticizes Alen Simonyan's Controversial Statement

The Ombudsman of Artsakh, Gegham Stepanyan, called the statement made by the Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia, Alen Simonyan, regarding Azerbaijan's attack on Artsakh, unacceptable and deserving of condemnation.

On October 20, in an interview with "Azatutyun," Alen Simonyan, Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly, was asked whether Azerbaijan has the right to attack Armenia and Artsakh. In response, he stated that "Azerbaijan conducted an operation in Karabakh, for which they had at least 3-4 UN resolutions."

"This statement has nothing to do with reality. It is a statement made by someone who does not understand the history of the conflict or the negotiation process," Stepanyan told "News-Armenia."
