ANCA: Secretary Rubio took time to endorse re-election of Nikol Pashinyan, but not to raise issues of urgent concern to American citizens of Armenian heritage

ArmInfo.Below is a statement by the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).

Secretary Rubio took the time to endorse the re-election of Nikol Pashinyan, but not to raise issues of urgent concern to American citizens of Armenian heritage:

- Freeing illegally held Armenian hostages (Baku)

- Returning ethnically-cleansed Artsakh refugees

- Releasing jailed Armenian archbishops (Yerevan)

- Ending Azerbaijani occupation of Armenian land

- Reaffirming US Armenian Genocide recognition

- Protecting Armenian Christian sites in Artsakh

Rubio visited Yerevan on May 26 for a short visit that lasted about an hour. Three documents were signed during the visit: the TRIP Framework Agreement, the Strategic Partnership Charter, and the Memorandum of Understanding on Critical Natural Resources. Many experts viewed this move by the American side as a pre-election rally to support Pashinyan's government in the June parliamentary elections.
