Arizona Congressional Report Card

Below is an organized summary of Arizona’s federal delegation and their legislative activity related to Armenian-backed measures, Türkiye, and regional issues.

LU.S. Senators (Arizona)

🇺🇸 Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ)

  • Reputation: Moderate, pragmatic.

  • Record on Armenian/Türkiye Issues:
    No consistent voting pattern or public positioning.

Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ)

  • Publicly posted on the Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day:
    “On Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day we remember the 1.5 million Armenians murdered… We recommit to speaking out against hate and preventing atrocities.
    *Consistent supporter of Armenian-aligned positions.

Important Note: As a former Marine and long-time member of the House Armed Services Committee, Gallego has previously emphasized:

* Türkiye’s strategic value within NATO
* Its role in supporting Ukraine
* Regional stability in the Middle East

Balanced Perspective:
While publicly aligning with Armenian issues, he understands Türkiye’s geopolitical importance — more balanced than many pro-Armenian Democrats.
