This Friday at 11:00 a.m (Eastern), In Defense of Christians will host a press conference focusing on the relationship between the United States and Turkey.
IDC President Toufic Baaklini will be joined by Aram Hamparian, Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee of America; Endy Zemenides, Executive Director of the Hellenic American Leadership Council; and Michael Rubin, Resident Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute in calling on the Trump Administration to confront Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Turkey’s destructive foreign policy.
Less than one week after Archbishop Barkev Martirosyan, Primate of the Armenian Apostolic Diocese of Artsakh, spoke at the In Defense of Christians Digital Summit, Azerbaijan and Turkey began bombarding an ancient Christian community dating back to the first century.
“We are implicated by our silence if we fail to condemn this attack on an ancient and vulnerable community,” said IDC president Toufic Baaklini.
