Armenian Christians are Facing Another Genocide

Armenia holds a special significance in the history of the Bible and the Church. Mt. Ararat, the symbol of Armenian faith and culture, is where Noah’s Ark landed according to Genesis 8:4. Following the death and resurrection of Christ, the Apostles Thaddeus and Bartholomew traveled to Armenia and began spreading the Gospel there. And in 301 A.D., Armenia became the first nation in history to officially embrace Christianity. This heritage is felt all across Armenia and is central to the identity of its people.
Just over 100 years ago, the Ottoman Empire (modern Turkey) set out to destroy Armenian Christianity. The Armenian Genocide saw 1.5 million Christians slaughtered in what was the first genocide of the 20th century. While the 1915 genocide is still fresh in the minds of Armenian Christians, the threat of another genocide looms over the horizon. Over the past several years, Armenians have been the victims of Azeri aggression as the Aliyev regime continues its violent regional expansionism. Most recently, in 2023, Azerbaijan attacked and ethnically cleansed 120,000 Christians from the ancient Armenian region of Artsakh. Azerbaijan and Turkey (its closest ally) seek to finish the work that began under the Ottomans.

American Christians can Make the Difference for Armenians

Christians in the United States have a long history of solidarity with the Christians of Armenia. The Armenian Genocide prompted an unprecedented mobilization by the American Church to send aid and raise awareness. This campaign saved hundreds of thousands of lives. In the words of historian Howard M. Sachar, Americans "quite literally kept and entire nation alive.”
Recent violence by Azerbaijan and Turkey is once again threatening the survival of this ancient Christian country. The Bible calls Believers to rescue those being led away to death and to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. And so once again the Church must answer the call and raise its voice for the country and people of Armenia who hold a special place in the history of the world as the first nation to officially embrace the message of the Gospel. The American Church played a crucial role in ensuring the survival of Armenia 100 years ago, and must do so again!

Christians are called to pray first and act through compassion, love, and advocacy.  This includes raising awareness about Armenia's current challenges and celebrating its historical significance throughout Christian history. Christians must use their voice to raise awareness for the vulnerable people of Armenia. Churches can foster partnerships with Armenian churches and organizations to provide support, encouragement, and grassroots mobilization to rally more support for the people of Armenia.

Armenia faces various challenges, including geopolitical tensions and regional conflicts. Christians should be concerned because supporting fellow Believers in Armenia aligns with the Biblical call to care for those who are oppressed or facing hardship (Matthew 25:35-36). Christians are called to advocate for peace and justice and doing so for the Armenian Church reflects our core values of love, compassion, and solidarity.

Supporting Armenia aligns with Christian values such as compassion, justice, and the promotion of religious freedom and identity. It provides an opportunity for Christians to live out their faith by demonstrating love and solidarity with fellow Believers facing adversity and persecution. Moreover, standing with Armenia reflects a commitment to respecting and honoring the rich history of our faith in advancing the Kingdom of God, which transcends national borders and ethnicities.

Armenia was the first country to adopt Christianity as its official religion in 301 A.D.

According to Genesis 8:4, Noah's Ark landed on Armenia's Mt. Ararat.

The Armenian Apostolic Church traces its origins to the missions of the Apostles Bartholomew and Thaddeus in the 1st century.

For the past 1,700 years, Christianity has been an essential part of Armenian identity, shaping its culture and landscape.

Since the 8th century, Armenians have been fighting and dying rather than yielding to invaders wishing to impose other religious traditions. This persecution culminated in the genocide of the early 20th century in which Armenia paid the ultimate price for its faith.

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.
Proverbs 31:8
Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to slaughter. If you say, ‘Behold, we did not know this,’ does not he who weighs perceive it?
Proverbs 24:11-12

People of Armenia

Our work reaches beyond reaching policymakers and contributes to the safety and sovereignty of the Armenian nation.

Together, we are a voice to ensure Armenia’s continued survival and flourishing.
