I commend President Biden’s decision to formally recognize the Armenian Genocide. Calling this atrocity what it was – genocide – is long overdue. We must recognize the horrors of the past if we hope to avoid repeating them in the future. https://t.co/ffngbkAGvA
Thank you Joe for using the G WORD. Finally. #ArmenianGenocide Recognition by the US. We have fought for this moment for decades.
(thread with news links)
Truth-telling and full acknowledgment of injustice can be one of the most important steps towards healing.
Acknowledging the Armenian genocide is long overdue, and I hope this day brings some degree of peace to impacted families and communities as we move forward together.
The @NBA has done an incredible job standing for justice this year. As such, we expect a full investigation and CONDEMNATION of @EnesKanter. The grey wolves symbol is akin to a Nazi salute and has no place anywhere let alone basketball. There must be consequences. #1915NeverAgain
Evidence of horrific crimes against humanity has been circulating online since the end of the war, including beheadings & mutilations of Armenian POWs & civilians, yet the world is still silent. @UN today we demand you finally #StandUp4HumanRights & #RecognizeArtsakh
On this Human Rights Day, we call on the @UN to uphold and protect the human rights of indigenous Armenians of Artsakh and apply sanctions on Azerbaijan and Turkey for their war crimes, their torture and murder of POWs.

.@UN remember when you called for a global ceasefire for COVID-19 & Armenia signed but Azerbaijan didn’t? Well, not only did they invade Armenian lands, they are now brazenly gloating about it by circulating their POW torture videos. #StandUp4HumanRights#RecognizeArtsakh
.@UN Artsakh contains the largest number of Armenian lapidary inscriptions per unit of territory, dating from the fifth century. Many of these monuments witnessed Artsakh's long-lasting struggle for survival, which continues even today. #RecognizeArtsakh#StandUp4HumanRights
Azeri army major Ramil Safarov beheaded an Armenian during a NATO conference in 2006 in Budapest. During his trial Safarov said, “If there were more Armenians there I would have killed all of them…My calling is to kill all Armenians.” #RecognizeArtsakh#StandUp4HumanRights
Having spent this past Friday night in a civilian area in Stepanakert, as it was bombarded heavily throughout the night and morning, I can say this with firsthand knowledge:
Azerbaijan is deliberately targeting civilian areas in Artsakh. Full video report from Artsakh in link.
More than 100,000 Armenians from Artsakh are displaced due to the horrific crimes against humanity committed by Azerbaijan & Turkey. Armenia is facing a devastating humanitarian crisis as it heads into a brutal Winter during a global pandemic. #RecognizeArtsakh
The Republic of Artsakh bears all the markers for international recognition as a de jure independent state based on the principle of “Remedial Secession”, including ethnic cleansing, Armenophobia, cultural genocide, war crimes & crimes against humanity #RecognizeArtsakh
The international community’s silence allowed Azerbaijan’s brutal onslaught against Artsakh, using Turkish, Syrian & ISIS mercenaries, illegal cluster and white phosphorus munitions. We need to #RecognizeArtsakh now, to cut through the bureaucracy & provide security/safety.
We've had enough calls, concerns, urges and a whole huge of silence... Now is the time to speak up and #RecognizeArtsakh to save the indigenous Armenians from ethnic cleansing.
One needs to look no further than the footage circulating of beheadings & mutilations of Armenian civilians & soldiers captured by Azeris to understand Azerbaijan’s intense Armenophobia renders Armenians totally vulnerable & unsafe #AzeriWarCrimes#RecognizeArtsakh
Armenians of Artsakh have been subjected to grotesque violations of humanitarian law as Azerbaijan continues to commit #AzeriWarCrimes. How can the security & safety of Artsakh’s citizens be guaranteed? Easy. #RecognizeArtsakh
#StayTuned 5:25pm TODAY: @SenatorMenendez will be discussing #Turkey and #Azerbaijan's attacks on #Armenia/#Artsakh and the need for the U.S. to reassert its leadership, defend indigenous Armenians in Artsakh, and promote American values. - https://t.co/VNjwajVOHc
