Save Kessab: Call for Congressional Intelligence Inquiry into Kessab Attack

Ask House and Senate Intelligence Panels to Probe Turkey's Role in al-Qaeda linked aggression.

Building upon your first round of robust grassroots activism, which helped secure timely U.S. condemnation of the recent assault on the Armenian town of Kessab Syria, the ANCA has escalated its #SaveKessab advocacy by calling upon the leadership of the U.S. House and Senate intelligence committees to launch formal inquiries into Turkey's role in this al-Qaeda linked aggression.

As you know, in the wake of the March 21st attack on Kessab, launched from Turkey, that drove over 2,000 Christian Armenians from their homes, the ANCA held meetings and launched protests calling on the Administration and Congress to confront Turkey's role in anti-Armenian violence. The State Department issued a statement that it is "deeply troubled" about these attacks, as did America's Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, but stopped short of criticizing Turkey's role. Leading members of Congress, including Senator Robert Menendez, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, have strongly condemned attacks on Armenians, as have tens of thousands of activists across various social media platforms.

Join with the ANCA in demanding that the U.S. government get to the bottom of this matter. Call on your Members of Congress to publicly and prominently request that the House and Senate intelligence panels launch formal inquiries into Turkey's role in recent al-Qaeda linked attacks on Christian Armenians in Kessab, Syria.  Take Action Now!
