Nigeria & Azerbaijan on List of Countries of Particular Concern | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The US Commission on International Religious Freedom released its annual report today. The date coincides with the anniversary of the declaration that made the right to freedom of religion a priority in US foreign policy. Each year the report highlights countries it wants the State Department to designate as "countries of particular concern" due to religious freedom violations. 17 countries made the list this year, including Nigeria and Azerbaijan. Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee of America, Aram Hamparian, joins to share his big takeaways from USCRIF's annual report. Regarding Azerbaijan, Aram discusses why it is important that its designation be upgraded and what else he would like to see the State Department do. He also explains how important the USCIRF report is and what kinds of changes he hopes it helps bring. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
