If you get the Project Agape newsletter, you know that the Armenian Christians of Artsakh continue to be persecuted. Azerbaijan forces (Azeri) invaded Artsakh, destroying everything that Project AGAPE had helped build: the distribution center, the school, and the hospital, and the homes. The country was divided in two, and our friends fled south.
The Azeri have now blocked all the roads into the former capital, Stepanakirk. Much needed supplies cannot be delivered.
This is the 50th day of the siege. Nara Melkonyan, Country Director and missionary, reports that the shelves are bare, groceries and medicine are non-existent, and the elderly and children are starving.
Nara asks that we telephone Stephanie Power, USAID Administrator (202)712-4300 or www.usaid.gov/contact-us. to airlift emergency US humanitarian aid NOW.
— Publicly pressure Azerbaijan to lift its blockade of Artsakh
— Send emergency humanitarian assistance to Artsakh
— Stop all U.S. military aid to Azerbaijan
