Chairman of the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Senator Bob Menendez and his wife, Nadine, met with the President of the European Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy (EAFJD) Kaspar Karampetian and Greek Armenian community leaders during the Senator’s visit to Greece, reports the Armeninian National Committee of America (ANCA).

Karampetian, who is a Greece-native, and the Armenian delegation thanked Senator Menendez for supporting expanded aid to Artsakh/Armenia, zeroing out military aid to Azerbaijan, and for his decades of proactive leadership that led to the 2019 unanimous U.S. Senate recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

Karampetian also reviewed the efforts of the Armenian National Committee of Greece and European Armenian Federation to bolster Artsakh and Armenia safety and security strengthen ties with Europe.

During his visit to Greece, Senator Menendez is scheduled to meet with a series of Greek officials, including Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to review a broad range of shared U.S.-Greece policy priorities.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
