A national educational campaign placing documented research into the hands of America's policymakers on Armenia, Artsakh, international law, and regional security.
Answering Propaganda with Documented Research
"While Armenian hostages remain imprisoned in Baku, their voices must continue to reach those with the power to act."
The 1,000 Book Initiative provides Members of Congress, Executive Branch officials, universities, think tanks, and libraries with professionally prepared Congressional Briefing Packages — combining historical research, legal analysis, primary source materials, and published works.
The objective is not to persuade through slogans, but to give decision-makers documented evidence, historical context, and careful analysis so that policy affecting Armenia and the South Caucasus can be informed by a fuller understanding of the issues.
Azerbaijan promotes the concept of "Western Azerbaijan" — a doctrine casting the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia as land subject to a future "right of return," now a visible part of its foreign policy.
Armenian prisoners, civilian hostages, and former officials of Artsakh remain imprisoned in Baku. Unable to advocate for themselves, they depend on others to keep the facts before policymakers.
Rather than a single publication, each policymaker receives a professionally organized set of materials that moves from a concise overview to in-depth analysis. Every package is individually numbered.
Introduces the package and the initiative.
A concise 8–12 page briefing, intended to be read first.

Build an ongoing Briefing Series and a permanent educational resource.
Our first goal is to deliver a Congressional Briefing Package to every Member of the U.S. House and Senate. Progress is measured by packages — not dollars.
Figures are updated as the campaign progresses. Full transparency: sponsored, prepared, and delivered.
Each sponsorship directly prepares and delivers one complete package to one policymaker — not a general fund. Every package carries a permanent number in a documented record.
Delivers one complete Congressional Briefing Package to one of America's policymakers.

The publications were prepared by Ara Khachig Manoogian, Founder & CEO of Global Peace International.
The title commemorates the continued imprisonment of Armenian hostages in Baku. While these individuals cannot speak publicly for themselves, their experiences should continue to be represented before America's policymakers. As long as they remain imprisoned, the initiative will keep expanding.
Every sponsorship prepares and delivers one Congressional Briefing Package. Sponsors do not contribute to a general fund; each gift directly supports the preparation and delivery of educational materials to a policymaker.
Yes. The progress section above reports packages sponsored, prepared, and delivered, along with milestones and updates. The initiative is committed to transparency throughout the campaign.
No. The initiative is educational. Its purpose is to provide documented evidence and analysis so that policymakers can reach informed conclusions — answering propaganda with research rather than rhetoric.
Completion of the First 450 marks the beginning of the next phase. Packages continue to additional policymakers, federal agencies, universities, research institutions, and educational organizations. The campaign is designed to continue.
One sponsorship. One Congressional Briefing Package. One more policymaker informed.
