The National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) joins with many others around the world who have expressed their concern about and condemnation of the attack by the Republic of Azerbaijan on Armenia’s territory, including the civilian population, on September 13, 2022. These widely reported strikes threaten the security of Armenia, undermine efforts to bring peace to the region, and violate the November 9, 2020, cease fire.

Armenians in the Republic must be allowed to live free from the threat of annihilation by their neighbors and their right to security and the integrity of Armenia’s borders must be recognized. As an organization dedicated to scholarship and education, we call on all parties to condemn this act of aggression and to seek diplomatic solutions to this conflict.
