December 7, 2021 To the Princeton Institute for the Transregional Study and Princeton Faculty,  We, the undersigned organizations, write to share our opposition to Princeton University’s decision to provide a prominent platform for Khazar Ibrahim, Ambassador of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the United States, to discuss “peace and cooperation in the Caucasus.” The government he represents has, in actual fact, acted directly and violently against the interests of both peace and coope

  1. How can we individually impress upon Princeton our disapproval of their invitation of the ambassador? What a disgrace to give such a criminal an ounce of respect!

    1. If every Armenian will pound on the doors of the University by send one email, one letter, or even one phone call, I assure you they will be convinced that we mean business. BUT, WE ALL MUST DO THAT in a UNTED way.
      I tell you what:” Monday morning, the first thing I will do is this: I will call Princeton University and express my outrage and my disapproval. I will also email them a nice polite email but right to the point.
      All this can be done and it will cost nothing.
      Let’s hop on the wagon, and let us do it NOW.

  2. Well done AYF. A well composed letter resonating the anguish and pain felt by all Armenians at this insensitive action conducted by such a well known and respected university that is supposed to be a shining beacon leading each new generation in excelling the previous generations. This letter will have a much higher impact if we could all flood Princeton with complaint e-mails. Maybe the AYF could put together a standard response e-mail we can all use. This is urgent and needs organising immediately.
