Congressman Frank Pallone has urged the US Department of State to use diplomatic tools to ensure the release of Armenian prisoners of war.

“Spoke with State Department today, where I reiterated the need for the US to strongly and publicly support Armenia’s democracy and bring our countries closer together,” Rep. Pallone said in a Twitter post.

“I urged them to use every available diplomatic tool to halt Azeri aggression and ensure the release of Armenian POWs,” he added.

“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
