Armenian Americans have called on U.S. State Department to protest against Turkey's crackdown on pro-Kurdish the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP).

“The U.S. must publicly and forcefully protest Turkey's anti-democratic crackdown and demand the release of Halkların Demokratik Partisi – HDP officials illegally imprisoned by the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan regime,” the Armenian National Congress of America said.

ANCA asked supporters to write letters urging the Secretary of State to act decisively against Erdogan's attempt to silence the last remaining major pro-democracy voice left in Turkey.

Armenians expressed solidarity with Kurds during pro-democracy rally near Turkey’s embassy in Washington.
