It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve as President of the Los Angeles City Council. On September 18th, I officially stepped down from this role with deep gratitude for the opportunity to serve the people of Los Angeles.

- Today, I introduced a motion calling on President Biden and all members of Congress to take meaningful punitive action against the Azeri regime
- #MercuryPublicAffairs MUST end association with #Turkey - universally recognized as perpetrator of the 1st #genocide in modern history, one of the world's worst abusers of #humanrights, and a bellicose imperialist threatening #worldpeace. #StopErdogan #StopAliyev #ArtsakhStrong
- Six years ago #LosAngeles recognized the independent, democratic Republic of #Artsakh. For the past 17 days #Armenians in Artsakh have been terrorized, this is a #humanitarian crisis. The #UnitedStates and @realDonaldTrump must act now. #ArtsakhStrong #StopAliyev #StopErdogan
- Targeting #Ghazanchetsots is consistent with #Azerbaijan’s destruction of #Christian #Armenian sites. In the 1990s #Azeri military destroyed a 1,000 y/o Armenian cemetery #Julf had ancient #khatchkar gravestones. Ignoring #UNESCO, erased historical treasure of global importance.
- Today #MercuryPublicAffairs severed business relationship with the government of #Turkey - perpetrator of the 1st #genocide in modern history, one of the worst abusers of #humanrights in the world, a imperialist that threatens #worldpeace with a lust for conquest. #ArtsakhStrong
- On Tuesday, the dictator of Azerbaijan closed the only road connecting the democratic Republic of Artsakh with Armenia and the outside world. Fuel, food and medical supplies are running out. A humanitarian disaster is imminent unless the world takes action.
- #LosAngeles City Council approved my resolution authorizing the city lobbyist to advocate for #UnitedStates recognition of #Artsakh as a sovereign independent state. Resolution comes in the wake of a brutal, #genocidal invasion of Artsakh by #Azerbaijan, its ally #Turkey.
- Thank you Mayor Bass for joining me in communicating to President Biden the urgent need for U.S. leadership to lift the blockade and bring humanitarian relief to the people of Artsakh.
- Los Angeles City Council President Paul Krekorian's statement in response to Councilmember Kevin De León’s statement to the press that he will not resign his office.
- The Holy Savior Cathedral in #Shushi (#Ghazanchetsots) is among the most significant religious sites for #Armenians around the world. This week #Azerbaijan bombed that cathedral in its ongoing aggression against #Artsakh - a war crime under international law. #StopAliyev
- #Washington must stop equivocating, condemn in no uncertain terms the unprovoked attack on #Artsakh. A firm stance could also end the war, which over the past 8 days has terrorized the civilian population. 👉View today's event: tinyurl.com/y6y34cdy #ArtsahkStrong #StopAliyev
- Tonight, City Hall is aglow in the colors of the flag of the Republic of #Artsakh to vividly demonstrate #LosAngeles's solidarity with the #Armenian people. #ArtsakhStrong #Armenia #StopAliyev #StopErdogan #StopAzeriAgression #DefendArtsakh #DefundAzerbaijan
- If the US fails to act forcefully against this latest #Azeri outrage, it will be complicit in the deaths that will result. #StopAliyev #Armenia #Artsakh #StopAzeriAgression #ArtsakhStrong #DefendArtsakh #DefendArmenia #DefundAzerbaijan
