1920

It was paid for a few dollars at a time.

The special mission was paid for by ordinary Armenians in America and Europe who could not be told what their money was for. The receipts survive.

Our ancestors contributed to the special mission. The return they got for what they gave was this: the Armenian Genocide was stopped, and the main leaders responsible for it were executed.

Nobody thought it could be done. It was done. Today your contribution will once again help stop the ongoing genocide by Turkey, Azerbaijan, and their allies, and this time you know exactly what you are giving for, because every part of the plan is public.

The Plan

Seven pillars, built on law that is already written.

The final act is not a list of targets. It is a plan every Armenian can help carry out, built on law that is already written, courts that are already open, and a nation that insists on being counted. Killing would not help Armenia today. What was missing in 1921 was a court that would hear us and a law that would bind the governments that failed us. Both now exist.

Why GPI Is Not a Nonprofit

What needs to be done, a nonprofit cannot legally do.

GPI works on lobbying and political issues. A tax-exempt charity may lobby only a little and may not support or oppose any candidate. For us, that is the main work.

What needs to be doneGPI canA tax-exempt charity cannot
Press Congress to stop aid to Azerbaijan, pass sanctions, and block arms salesMake it our main work, with no limitLobbying may be only a small part of its work
Hold elected officials to their record at election timePublicly support or oppose candidatesCompletely banned from supporting or opposing any candidate
Campaign for laws and for a national referendumCampaign with full forceCounts against its lobbying limit

Contributions are not deductible as charitable gifts. GPI is a service provider: if you pay for its services through your business, ask your tax advisor whether you can deduct it as a business expense. You can also give by check or money order, payable to Global Peace International, 145 S. Glenoaks Blvd., #249, Burbank, CA 91502.

Your Part

Where you stand.

Nothing in the plan is hidden and nothing in it is dangerous. Every task can be done with a document, a signature, a vote, a letter, or a filing. Most of them can be started this week.

Citizens of Armenia

The surrender of national territory belongs to a referendum of the people. Read what you are asked to approve, follow your deputies through the Monitor, and vote.

Armenians abroad

Enroll in the Global Armenian Registry, ask your family and parish to enroll, and ask for a vote in decisions that belong to the whole nation.

Families from Artsakh

Your rights did not leave with you. Gather every deed, record, and photograph, and file when a register of damage opens.

Lawyers

The courts are open, and most filings need no government’s permission. The plan needs you more than anyone.

Constituents

Ask your representative, in writing and in public, to restore Section 907 without a waiver and oppose arms sales to Azerbaijan.

Students and clergy

Find the record and publish what is missing. Bring the Church’s records into the registry and ask every parish to enroll its families.

Operation Nemesis: The Final Act

The whole plan, who carries out each part, and what each reader can do are set out in Operation Nemesis: The Final Act.
