Abdul El-Sayed declared his intention to advocate for peace, dignity, security and the right to self-determination of the Armenian people

ArmInfo. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, who won the Senate election from Michigan, declared his intention to advocate for peace, dignity, security, and the right to self-determination for the Armenian people. His statement was quoted by the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).

"I am honored to have the ANCA's support in this fight. Michigan Armenians are a valuable part of our great state. The Trump administration's granting Azerbaijan carte blanche for military aid amid ongoing atrocities is a flagrant violation of international law. As Michigan's next senator, I will advocate for the peace, dignity, security, and the right to self-determination of the Armenian people," Abdul El-Sayed stated.

According to preliminary results of the midterm elections, Democrats have won a majority in the House of Representatives, securing the necessary 218 seats out of 435. According to American CBS estimates, Democrats could gain at least 245 seats in the House, while Republicans could gain at least 166. Democrats have also secured a majority in the Senate, winning 54 of the 100 seats. Donald Trump has already congratulated Democrats on their victory.
