PROMOTE

DEMOCRACY AND PEACE

The United States, as a Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, has a vested interest in advancing peace and bringing stability to the region. The governments of Armenia and Artsakh have consistently indicated their desire to peacefully resolve the conflict and have offered confidence-building measures to help reduce tensions and build trust. Stand with democracy and justice, as opposed to repression and intolerance.

UNIVERSAL AFFIRMATION

OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

During the second half of the 19th century, the Armenian population in the decaying Ottoman Empire became the target of heightened persecution, culminating in the Armenian Genocide, which was conceived and carried out by the Young Turk regime from 1915 to 1923. The first genocide of the 20th century resulted in the deportation of nearly 2 million Armenians, of whom 1.5 million men, women and children were killed, while the remaining 500,000 were expelled from their homeland of 3,000 years.
