The speakers at the event also warned of the endangered Armenian cultural heritage in Nagorno-Karabakh and called on the Trump administration to take action, Voice of America reports.
Congressman Chris Smith criticized the Biden administration’s policy concerning the Karabakh-Armenians, condemned Turkiye for the denial of the Armenian Genocide and condemned Azerbaijan to the ethnic cleansing committed in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Smith called for stronger cooperation and partnership with Armenia.
