YEREVAN, APRIL 25, ARMENPRESS. Armenian-Americans held a rally in Washington, D.C. to commemorate the Armenian Genocide victims on April 24 and to call on the U.S. President Joe Biden to take action to stop the genocide in Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh).

The Armenian-Americans gathered outside the Azerbaijani embassy in the U.S. capital and marched to the Turkish embassy, before reaching the White House to hold a demonstration.

The demonstrators were carrying posters saying ‘Aliyev is a War Criminal’, ‘Stop the Artsakh Genocide’, ‘120,000 Peaceful Civilians Held Hostage by Azerbaijan’, ‘Break the Artsakh Blockade’.

“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
