Kamala Harris: The right for Armenians displaced from   Nagorno-Karabakh to return to their homes is vital to restoring  dignity of the Armenian people and stability in the region

ArmInfo.The right for Armenians displaced from Nagorno- Karabakh to return safely to their homes is  vital to restoring dignity to the Armenian people and stability in the region. This is stated in the message of US presidential candidate Kamala Harris, addressed to the Armenian community of the United States on the occasion of Armenia's Independence Day. 

In this vein, she noted that she intends to continue to support  Armenia in its efforts to strengthen democracy and foster stability  in the region.  Harris also stressed that while celebrating  Independence Day, " we must also never forget the Armenian Genocide,  when an estimated 1.5 million Armenians were deported, massacred, and  marched to their deaths". This tragedy, according to her, continues  to shape the identity of the Armenian people.

"The resilience of the Armenian-American community remains a source  of inspiration in our collective American story. I remain committed  to a lasting peace between Armenia and its neighbors that respects  sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity," the US  presidential candidate said. She added that Armenia and its people  have a rich history that inspires all to strive for liberty and  justice. "I remain committed to deepening the bonds between our  nations and fostering a partnership that uplifts our shared values  and aspirations. Together, we can build a safer, fairer, and freer  world," Kamala Harris noted.
