Adam was the first Member of Congress to call for the formal U.S. recognition of the Independent Republic of Artsakh, because he firmly believes that the U.S. must not stand idly by as Azerbaijan and Turkey wage war on Artsakh. Azerbaijan, with assistance from Turkey, continues to threaten Armenia in an attempt to destabilize the nation and exert territorial control over Artsakh. After Turkish-backed Azeri troops attacked Artsakh and initiated a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Adam introduced a resolution calling for the release of Armenian prisoners of war. He has repeatedly spoken out about the human rights abuses perpetrated against Armenians by Azeri forces and is committed to achieving a peaceful resolution to the conflict that results in self-determination for the people of Artsakh.
Honoring Armenian Americans
In 2022, the federal government funding legislation included $950,000 in funding to support the construction and development of the Armenian American Museum and Cultural Center of California in downtown Glendale thanks to Adam’s work to honor Armenian Americans‘ contributions to the US. He will continue to advocate for this important funding. Adam knows that Armenian-Americans are an essential part of the very fabric of the nation — enriching the US customs, traditions, and communities, and that the Armenian American Museum and Cultural Center of California will ensure that story gets told for generations to come.
