Yesterday’s Standing for Artsakh briefing brought our community together to confront two urgent issues: the Right of Return for the people of Artsakh and the Release of all Armenian hostages and POWs.

We were honored to feature Siranush Sahakyan of the Armenian Legal Center for Justice & Human Rights, who shared powerful insights on the legal challenges ahead and outlined how the diaspora can play a vital role in the fight for justice. She reminded us that every legal action builds pressure, creates a record of truth, and strengthens our long-term struggle for accountability.

This important conversation was proudly co-hosted by the Armenian National Committee of New Jersey (ANC of NJ) and the Armenian Bar Association. Special thanks to Karen Tonoyan, representing the Armenian Bar, for moderating with depth and clarity, and to Jero Mouradian of ANC of NJ for guiding the program as MC.

The work continues. Thank you for being a part of it. 🇦🇲
