"How does one commemorate genocide during genocide..."

[Simon Maghakyan @simonforco]

Today, April 24, marks the 109th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. This photo is from last year’s commemoration in Stepanakert, capital of (now ethnically cleansed) Nagorno-Karabakh. How does one commemorate genocide during genocide?

My heart is shattering anew every minute of every day...

During Azerbaijan’s 9-month starvation siege, 90-year-old Aneshka kept going for one goal: to see her son again. Following Azerbaijan’s invasion,she made it to Goris, Armenia, hugged her son for the first time in nearly a year—and for the last time ever, passing away in his arms

But who the hell would want to be at the mercy of the Azeri gov, their own people don’t even have freedom. They live under autocracy, jail journalists, and god forbid you speak out against the unelected “President”.

September. Instead of students, displaced persons came to school.

This grandmother slept in this chair-made bed at night.

Good morning from Stepanakert.

A number of substations feeding the electrical system are under Azerbaijani control, which is why there is no electricity in #Artsakh.

[Artak Beglaryan | #StopArtsakhGenocide @Artak_Beglaryan]

Azerbaijan again violated the ceasefire & agreements.
While the Artsakh delegation went to Yevlakh for talks with Azerbaijani conditions, their forces started shooting at the upper side of Stepanakert, entering some residential parts there.
Exchange of gunfires are heard.

Gunshots heard in #Stepanakert

Azerbaijan's armed forces, stationed in neighboring regions near #Stepanakert, have breached the ceasefire agreement and are using a variety of firearms. Gunfire can also be heard in the capital's downtown area. - Artsakh MoD

Citizens are again taking refuge in bomb shelters

[Angela Hassassian @HassassianA]

Speculation that the sounds of gunshots may be from #Azerbaijani militants in the outskirts of the city of #Stepanakert.

[301🇦🇲 @301arm]

BREAKING: According to military correspondent David Torosyan, in the areas adjacent to Stepanakert, preliminary data suggest that gunshots from small arms (likely PK machine gun) can be heard.

Based on available information, the shooting began at 11:37.

🚨 Alarms of shelling from various sources in #Artsakh, taking place now.

[Yana Avanesyan @ianaavanesian]

Just found a connection to speak with my friends in Stepanakert, and at this moment, again Azerbaijan started shelling Stepanakert.
NOW when “negotiations” are taking place between Artsakh/NK and Aze.

[Raffi Elliott @RaffiElliott]

Or, more accurately a 3 millennia old project of unbroken Armenian habitation which at many times preserved our statehood when the rest of Armenia was under foreign domination; saw the adoption of our unique alphabet and ancient religion. Now destroyed

A week ago this video was published on YouTube by @TLDRNewsGlobal which deftly explained the situation between #Armenia #Azerbaijan #NagornoKarabakh / #Artsakh and #Russia. It breaks my heart that we all KNEW this was coming and yet... now what?

For anyone who had any hopes that the threat is over and peace is on the horizon...

[Angela Hassassian @HassassianA]

The U.S. failed to take any meaningful action, emboldening other would-be aggressors. The #BidenAdministration should suspend military assistance to #Baku and enforce restrictions outlined in Section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act.
