U.S.-Israeli forces have struck a residential complex in the Majidiyeh district of Tehran – home to a significant Armenian community; including an Armenian church, Armenian schools, and countless Armenian businesses. Armenians have called Iran home for centuries. While our communities across the region have suffered persecution, displacement & genocide – in Iran, our community & culture have thrived. This illegal war of aggression has wrought devastation on Iranian civilians, destabilized the entire region, and now threatens the existence of Iran’s largest Christian community – and the largest Armenian community left in the Middle East.

Israeli forces struck a residential building in Bourj Hammoud – the heart of Lebanon's Armenian community. This comes just days after U.S.-Israeli forces hit a residential complex in Iran's Majidieh district – also home to a significant Armenian community. Bourj Hammoud was founded by survivors of the Armenian Genocide – and was a place where Armenian culture & identity were able to flourish in the wake of the attempted destruction of our nation. Over the course of the century, Beirut became a global center of Armenian culture, language, education, and diaspora life. During the Lebanese Civil War, Armenians organized self-defense units in Bourj Hammoud to preserve their neutrality, protect the community, and prevent any force from capturing the district. During the Syrian Civil War, Bourj Hammoud became a critical refuge for Armenians fleeing Aleppo. During the 2006 Israeli assault on Lebanon, Bourj Hammoud's Armenian schools, churches & community centers offered food and shelter for refugees from across the country. And following the 2020 Beirut Port Explosion – which hit Bourj Hammoud hard – the Armenian community rallied to provide humanitarian relief & shelter to those impacted. At its peak before the civil war, Armenians made up close to 10% of Lebanon's population. Today, less than half remain. As the illegal U.S.-Israeli war of aggression against Iran destabilizes the entire region – our communities across the Middle East face a threat to their very existence.

Rep. Rep. Frank Pallone is one of the few members of Congress to have visited Artsakh — for which he was banned from entering Azerbaijan. His very presence at #COP29 is an act of defiance against Aliyev’s genocidal regime. Based on the insane reaction to his arrival — it’s working.

A warm welcome for Rep. Frank Pallone in Baku — harassed by Azeri propagandists over his advocacy for Artsakh’s Armenians. Rep. Pallone is ranking member of the energy & environment committee. His treatment by regime puppets shows how unserious this summit is. #COP29 is a circus.

If Baku denies there’s a crisis in Artsakh, why ‘send aid’? If Baku accepts there’s a crisis, why deny ICRC access? If Baku could always send aid, why wait until the brink of starvation? Because this isn’t about humanitarianism — it’s a cynical PR stunt & obvious Trojan Horse.
