Kamala Harris on the Right of Displaced Armenians from Artsakh to Return Home

The right of displaced Armenians from Artsakh to return safely to their homes is essential for the restoration of the dignity of the Armenian people and for stability in the region. This was stated in the address of U.S. Vice President and presidential candidate Kamala Harris to the Armenian-American community: "My best wishes to you on this day as you celebrate Armenia's Independence Day. While we celebrate this day, we must also never forget the Armenian Genocide, where approximately 1.5 million Armenians were displaced, killed, and driven to the brink of death. This tragedy continues to shape the identity of the Armenian people. The resilience of the Armenian-American community remains a source of inspiration in our collective American history. I am committed to the idea of achieving lasting peace between Armenia and its neighbors based on respect for sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity. The right of displaced Armenians from Artsakh to return safely to their homes is crucial for the restoration of dignity among the Armenian people and for stability in the region. I will continue to support Armenia in its efforts to strengthen democracy and promote stability in the region. Armenia and its people have a rich history that inspires us all to strive for freedom and justice. I remain committed to deepening the ties between our peoples and strengthening the partnership that supports our shared values and aspirations. Together we can build a more secure, just, and free world. Respectfully, Vice President Kamala Harris.
