New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick chose to use his Wednesday press conference to share some of his takes on — no, not his team's Week 11 opponent, the Houston Texans, but rather United States foreign policy.

According to Mass Live, the head coach called for the United States government to “take action” against Turkey and Azerbaijan in their ongoing dispute with Armenia.

If you're wondering why this came up, here's how the sequence played out: Belichick was asked for his reaction to U.S. Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller quoting the Patriots coach in a letter to Department of Defense employees. Miller called Belichick an “incomparable football coach” in the memo.

The quote? “Do your job.”

Belichick, a vocal supporter of the U.S. armed forces with personal Navy connections, said he was “flattered” by Miller's citation.

“When you consider the type of leadership that he’s shown throughout his career, serving our country, it really means a lot,” the Patriots coach said.

But the Pats coach wasn't done, and decided to pounce on the opportunity to call for U.S. military intervention in support of Armenia.

“I’ll just say, while we’re on the subject, I read [Miller's] point about combating (transnational) threats and I couldn’t help but think and hope that we’ve seen from other countries around the world and I hope that our country will take action against Turkey and Azerbaijan for their unprovoked and deadly attacks on Armenians.

We’ve seen when humanitarian crisis and things like that, like ethnic cleaning, go unpunished, they just continue to happen. I hope that we can put a stop to that.”

Armenia and Azerbaijan have been engaged in a decades-long conflict, which has escalated in recent months. Azerbaijan is supported by the Turkish government.

Belichick has expressed his support for Armenia before. He wore a pin of the Armenian flag when the Patriots visited the White House in April 2015 in recognition of the American Genocide.

Bill Belichick is Croatian by descent. His “right-hand man“, Berj Najarian, is Armenian.

Belichick doesn't often publicly wade into politics, though he did send Donald Trump an exceptionally strange letter ahead of the 2016 presidential election commending the candidate on his “leadership.”
