101 - that’s the number of U.S. House and Senate leaders who signed an ANCA-backed, bipartisan letter to the Trump Administration calling on the U.S. to ban military aid to Azerbaijan and demand the release of Armenian hostages.

Located just 50 miles south of Yerevan on Armenia’s vital North-South highway, Tigranashen sits along a key lifeline connecting Armenia to Iran. Surrendering this strategic village means severing crucial trade routes and handing over recognized Armenian territory.  Azerbaijan continues to demand more land while acting with total impunity. We cannot remain silent while sovereign Armenian villages and communities are placed on the chopping block.  👉 Take action now: Visit ANCA.org to contact your Congressional representatives and demand accountability for Azerbaijani aggression.

🇦🇲 ⛓️‍💥May 28 is not only the story of Armenia’s independence. It is the story of a people who, through resistance, sacrifice, and determination at Sardarabad, Gharakilisa, and Bash Abaran, reclaimed the right to build a state of their own.

Is Prime Minister Pashinyan preparing to concede more land to Azerbaijan? The issue of enclaves has resurfaced, raising serious concerns about Armenia’s national security, sovereignty, and regional connectivity. During the Soviet era, both republics had small territories completely surrounded by the other. By the early 1990s, the old system ceased to exist in practice, and for decades, the issue was considered closed. Today, the Armenian government is referencing the 1991 Alma-Aata Declaration to reopen border delimitation using old Soviet maps. These territories are not just dots on a map. They sit directly on Armenia’s vital interstate highways. Ceding them could create critical military chokeholds inside our borders. While the government frames this as a path to "peace" or an even exchange for Artsvashen, security experts warn these areas would serve little civilian purpose for Azerbaijan and would instead become hostile military outposts. This is not a step toward peace; it is a policy of appeasement that puts Armenia’s core infrastructure, sovereignty, and safety at risk.
