To prevent another war and protect the principles of freedom and democracy, the US government must mobilize regional support for Armenians’ right to self-defense and self-determination and advocate for the safe return of Artsakh Armenians to their historic homeland. Robert Kennedy Jr., who announced his candidacy for the US president, stated this in his video message.
He stated that starting from 2020, Azerbaijan is carrying out merciless ethnic cleansing against the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh. “In September of this year, Azerbaijan attacked and displaced the entire 120,000 Armenian population,” added the politician.
“While the world’s attention is focused on Gaza and Israel, no one hears anything about the mass displacement of the entire population of one of the ancient Armenian territories. empty condemnation of ethnic cleansing is not enough. Unlike the 1915 genocide, this one is reversible. This is a situation where peaceful sanctions can work. The United States still has leverage in this region, and it can use this power to mobilize all the peoples of this region to reverse this humanitarian tragedy. We should also look for ways to lift the blockade of Armenia from Turkey and Azerbaijan. Armenia is a landlocked country and should have access to the ports of neighboring countries,” said the American politician.
He assured that if he is elected to the post of US president, he will contribute to the restoration of the Republic of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.
“As President of the United States, I will use diplomacy, our moral authority, our economic leverage and sanctions to restore Armenia. I want to help restore the sovereignty of Armenia and Artsakh, restore their territories. I want to do it peacefully. “Rather than start a new war somewhere, I’d like to stop one,” Kennedy said.
