An OPEN LETTER to Arizona Armenians
Dear Friends,
I'm writing to you today with urgent news from Washington, and a request for immediate action.
Arizona Congressman Abraham Hamadeh is leading the charge on Capitol Hill to send your U.S. tax dollars to blood-thirsty Azerbaijan. He wants to repeal Section 907 – rewarding Azerbaijan’s oil-rich dictatorship for ethnically cleansing Artsakh, holding Armenian hostages, occupying Armenian lands, and desecrating Christian holy sites.
Hamadeh represents Arizona's 8th Congressional District, a West Valley suburban area of Phoenix, but this is an issue that matters to all our friends from across the Grand Canyon State.
Congress can act on this at any moment – the earlier he hears from you the better.
Contacting him is quick, easy, and hassle-free:
Here are three things you can do right now.
1) Call his office:
Washington, DC: (202) 225-4576
Arizona: (623) 776-7911)
Sample script:
My name is ___, from Arizona. I'm calling to urge Representative Hamadeh to stop attacking Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act. The oil-rich Azerbaijani government neither needs nor deserves my tax dollars.
Instead of rewarding a genocidal government with foreign aid, you should be holding it accountable with sanctions.
2) Post on X:
Sample post:
Stop rewarding genocidal Azerbaijan with my American tax dollars.
and : Enforce Section 907, sanction Aliyev, free Armenian hostages, return Artsakh refugees, end Azerbaijani occupation, and protect Christian churches.
3) Share this alert
Forward it to family and friends – Armenians and non-Armenians. Every call, every post, every message matters.
Sirov,
Aram Suren Hamparian
Executive Director, ANCA
