WASHINGTON, DC – Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) Executive Director Aram Hamparian issued the following statement regarding Turkey’s offensive launched in Syria on Wednesday and the U.S. decision to pull out its troops.
“Mindful of the continuing consequences of the Armenian Genocide – including those directly threatening the remaining Western Armenian populations in northeast Syria – we join with Senators Lindsey Graham, Chris Van Hollen, and others – from both houses of Congress – in supporting bipartisan legislation imposing the harshest sanctions on Turkey for attacks upon America’s Kurdish allies or civilian populations.”
According to international news accounts, Turkey launched its offensive on northern Syria earlier today. Two civilians have been reported dead, with panic reported as a result of air-strikes in civilian areas.
