Dear Members of the Nobel Committee,

 

The Sargsyan and D. Gasparyan International Institute for Qualimetric Quantitative Assessment and Expertise of Genocide and Culturocide fully supports the initiative of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet to nominate the 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, and U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for the Nobel Peace Prize.

 

We hereby submit an official nomination in recognition of their historic contributions to advancing global peace, exceptional statecraft, mediation in resolving the conflict in the eastern Armenian Highlands, condemnation of ethnic cleansing of the indigenous people of Artsakh and acts of culturocide, and their outstanding achievements in reducing tensions in some of the most unstable regions of the world.

 

The history of the United States offers remarkable examples of noble support to the Armenian people. In the National Statuary Hall of the U.S. Capitol, each state is represented by its most distinguished citizen. Illinois was the first to honor a woman — Frances Elizabeth Caroline Willard — a social reformer who, in the 1890s, initiated and organized the first large-scale humanitarian campaign in U.S. history to aid a foreign nation, becoming a symbol of justice, courage, and generosity.

 

President Donald Trump continued this tradition by officially recognizing the Armenian Genocide (Mets Yeghern). Between 1915 and 1930, the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief raised the equivalent of $2 billion in today’s terms to assist Middle Eastern refugees, including Armenians, by providing housing, food, and rescuing children from captivity. In 1915–1916, American and French missionaries ransomed 814,000 Armenian children, placing them in orphanages across more than 70 countries. An additional 20,000 children found shelter in Gyumri. However, 360,000 remained in captivity, subjected to forced assimilation — their descendants today are known as “Crypto-Armenians.”

 

Following the Great Massacre of 1915, U.S. private entrepreneurs and organizations, including the Rockefellers, contributed significantly to assisting Armenian refugees. The young Hollywood actor Jackie Coogan became the face of a national fundraising campaign for Armenian orphaned children, traveling across the country to raise awareness and resources.

 

Today, with vast U.S. archives and modern technologies, we can share this truth with the world through authentic photographs and documents.

 

President Trump’s actions and initiatives have surpassed the efforts of several U.S. Presidents from the 24th to the 30th. President Woodrow Wilson, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919, proclaimed the right of nations to self-determination. President Trump advanced this principle by securing Congressional and Senate recognition of the Armenian Genocide, condemning ethnic cleansing in Artsakh, pledging to protect persecuted Christians, and working toward peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

 

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as part of President Trump’s team, has called for ensuring Artsakh Armenians’ right to self-determination, safe return to their homeland, and initiated the drafting of a Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Culturocide.

 

Furthermore, President Trump’s team is addressing the global challenge of access to fresh water — a priority of utmost importance for humanity’s future.

 

Eighty-seven members of Congress from 24 states, representing more than 66 million Americans, have appealed to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, urging collective and secure repatriation of forcibly displaced Armenians to their historical homeland — Nagorno-Karabakh.

 

In light of the above, and recognizing their exceptional humanitarian and public achievements, contributions to peacebuilding, fostering friendship among nations, advancing intercivilizational dialogue, preserving cultural heritage, and developing fundamental international legal frameworks and environmental initiatives, our Institute officially nominates Donald J. Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the Nobel Peace Prize.
