Belichick wants U.S. action against Turks, Azeris for attacks on Armenians

PanARMENIAN.Net - New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has urged the United States to take action against Turkey and Azerbaijan for their unprovoked and deadly attacks on Armenians, according to CBS Boston.

“We’ve seen that when a humanitarian crisis and things like that, like ethnic cleaning, go unpunished, that they just continue to happen. I hope that we can put a stop to that,” Belichick told reporters on Wednesday, November 18.

The Boston area is home to some 30,000 to 50,000 Armenians, The Hill reported, citing the Armenian Diaspora Survey.

Belichick has spoken out in this particular area before, in a video for director of football/head coach administration Berj Najarian’s Instagram page.

“I have learned that throughout Armenian history, regardless of any adversity or tragedy, the Armenian people have continued to thrive and persevere,” Belichick said in that video. “I hope and pray for peace, justice, and the safety of the brave soldiers that are fighting for their nation’s recognition and freedom.”

Belichick wore an Armenian flag on his lapel during that trip to the White House.
