We are proud to travel to Yerevan following the 2019 passage of House Resolution 296, which recognizes the murder of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire as genocide, and following President Biden becoming the first president to formally acknowledge the Armenian Genocide. It is the moral duty of all to never forget: an obligation that has taken on increased urgency as atrocities are perpetrated around the globe, including by Russia against Ukraine. Our Congressional delegation's visit to Armenia is a powerful symbol of the United States' firm commitment to a peaceful, prosperous and democratic Armenia, and a stable and secure Caucasus region.
Statement by Nancy Pelosi
At a joint press conference with her Armenian counterpart Alen Simonyan on Sunday, Pelosi addressed Azerbaijan's repeated attacks on Nagorno-Karabakh and the Armenian heartland:
What happened in the last week is just more evidence of what we have been finding for a long time: The treatment of Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh, the treatment of holy sites as well as the people there. We are speaking from the standpoint of the congress of the United States. Our president has been a proud supporter of the Armenians in terms of the genocide resolution and we are working together to see what the next steps will be.

The democracy in Armenia is a value to the world. Congratulations to the success of the velvet revolution and the recent free and fair elections! We have two main issues here: What does security in Armenia mean to both regional and global security? What does democracy in Armenia mean in the fight between democracy and autocracy which is going on in the world now? In both cases it means a great deal. And that's why we as Americans want to be helpful.
