Message by Dr. Jannah Scott:
Good day. My name is Dr. Janice Scott, and I am the founding director of the American Center for Religious Freedom (ACRF).
As a friend of Azerbaijan, I want to join in with multi-faith leaders from across the globe, and commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Khojaly Massacre.
On that day, some 30 years ago, 613 civilians were massacred. Many women, children, and the elderly, and those who survived the insurrection in the incursion, were taken into deplorable conditions, some who are still missing to this day, we want to honor the Khojaly victims, and we want to also lift up and pray for the families of those who died and who suffered and who are still missing from that terrible tragedy.
As a friend of Azerbaijan, I want to join in with multi-faith leaders from across the globe, and commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Khojaly Massacre.
In this time in our history, when there is so much strife and discontent among nations, faith leaders have a significant responsibility to stand up and call for healing, for restoration for reconciliation in places like Khojaly in the Nagorno Karabakh region, where so much strife occurred due to incursion by another nation, we lift up the Khojaly victims and those in that region to say that people of faith stand with you to begin the dialogue, to heal, to restore, to resurrect, to reconcile, not only for those who are living today, but for the generations to come.
Know that we at the American Center for Religious Freedom (ACRF) are praying for you.
We're believing in you and more importantly, we stand with you in the restoration and reconciliation of the soul of your nation.
Thank you so much for the honor to be part of this commemoration. And I look forward to be with you soon.
God bless you
