    Joint Statement of the Armenian Assembly of America, the Armenian General
    Benevolent Union, the Armenian National Committee of America, the Diocese of
    the Armenian Church of America (Eastern/Western) and the Prelacy of the
    Armenian Apostolic Church of America (Eastern/ Western) on Recent Events in
    Armenia


    As leading Armenian American organizations, we stand in solidarity with the
    state and the people of Armenia as the nation confronts the current
    political crisis.

    We are deeply saddened by the violence, divisiveness, and deaths during the
    post-electoral street unrest in the capital and extend our heartfelt
    sympathies to all the families of the victims. We condemn all violent acts,
    including assaults, vandalism, and looting, and expect, consistent with due
    process of law, that the organizers and perpetrators will be brought to
    justice.

    We urge all parties to work peacefully within Armenia's civic and legal
    structures to address their outstanding differences and restore Armenia's
    political environment to a state of normalcy in as timely and responsible a
    manner as possible. We join with all Armenians in reaffirming our people's
    common commitment to the security of Armenia and Artsakh in a challenging
    and often dangerous region, and to cooperate toward our shared aim of
    strengthening an open and democratic Armenian homeland, based upon the rule
    of law, social and economic justice, freedom of expression and the media,
    and equal opportunity for all.

    As Armenian Americans, proud and vital partners in the future of the
    Armenian nation, we are ready to cooperate with the newly-elected President
    and the government. We remain committed to doing our part to serve our
    homeland and the Armenian Nation as we have done throughout our long
    history. Armenia will continue to inspire and sustain generations of
    Armenians who have lived, as we do today, beyond her borders.
