The Armenian Assembly’s advocacy in a changing Washington

As power shifts in Washington and U.S.–Armenia relations enter a new phase, how much influence does the Armenian diaspora still hold?

Taline Yacoubian is co-chair of the Armenian Assembly of America, one of the leading Armenian-American advocacy organizations in Washington. Through its work with Congress and U.S. policymakers, the Assembly seeks to advance Armenian interests and strengthen U.S.–Armenia relations.

In this interview with CivilNet, Yacoubian discusses the changing political landscape in Congress, the TRIPP project, and the Assembly’s ongoing advocacy efforts, including its push for the release of Armenian prisoners held in Azerbaijan.
