Statement from Teny Avakian, CEO at GOALS

Dear GOALS Community,

I want to take a moment to address the deeply concerning and heartbreaking situation unfolding in Artsakh and Armenia. The region is in the midst of a severe humanitarian crisis, with over 75,000 people forcibly displaced due to the ongoing conflict. Our brothers and sisters in Artsakh have endured unimaginable hardships, including a blockade lasting nine long months, leaving them without access to food and essential medical supplies.

The situation is dire, and our thoughts are with all those affected by this crisis. We stand in solidarity with the people of Artsakh and Armenia during this challenging time.

This crisis underscores the urgent need for humanitarian efforts, unity, and unwavering support for those in need. We are dedicated to doing everything within our means to provide assistance, and we implore the international community to join us in extending a helping hand to those affected by this crisis.

Let us continue to support one another, stand together in strength, and work tirelessly towards a more peaceful and hopeful future for Armenia and Artsakh.

With heartfelt hope and solidarity,

Teny Avakian
