Community Delegation Meets with State Department to Stop Attacks on Kessab
WASHINGTON—The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) joined a delegation of Armenian American community and religious representatives to forcefully urge the U.S. government to take immediate action to end the vicious onslaught on the historically Armenian town of Kessab, Syria, which was overrun by al-Qaeda affiliated terrorists in an attack launched from Turkey on March 21.
During a meeting with State Department officials earlier today, community representatives stressed, in urgent

The Neocon State Department probably knew all along what was about to transpire in the Armenian town of Kessab, because this was apparently being planned many months in advance by Turkey and Al-Qaeda. So I don’t have any hope this will do anything positive. Ironically, the man who is “butchering his own people” (according to these Neocon rats) is the one that is now protecting Armenians.
We as Armenians now have reason to expose these dirty Neocon warmongers intent on destroying Syria by highlighting a simple truth: Syria protects Christians while the US headed by Neocons and its “allies” like Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar wants to see them destroyed.
It’s the same old story: Western nations are not going to come to the aid of Armenians, ever.
The US State Department is nothing more than a Turkish proxy and utterly worthless.
Please have faith… I pray for the US to make the right call to be honorable and to do the right thing…
Since Erdogan is on the outs with the USA they could do anything who knows. There is a war with Erdogan and the crazy Imam that has a movement called Gulen Movement. They have infiltrated the USA in charter school management and lobbying for Azerbaijan and Turkey.
I expect this will come to a head real soon like a bad zit.
Amy… your prayers will go unanswered just as the people’s prayers in Kessab went and IS going unanswered… America isn’t saving us… God isn’t helping either…
Why do intelligent people like Armenians, live in muslim countries, in the first place. This is not the first time they are under attack and slaughtered. Why don’t they move to other Christian countries or Armenia. Armenia’s government should send aids to rescue these people and give them a place in Armenia. Instead, he is sitting back and thanking Syria’s government for protecting his people! If our government is doing nothing useful, what are we expecting from others!!?? Petitions should be addressed to our president not others.
Don’t blame the State Department. The fish stinks from the head. It’s the democrat party leader’s feckless foreign policy that has brought us to this horrific point.
This must be a wakeup call for all Christians and humanitarians to come together and stop this insane barbaric behavior. The truth about what is going on in Kessab and the whole middle east is shocking and totally disgusting. All people of good will and civil society must pay careful attention to what is happening and get involved. Stop the killing!
