The Khachkar, also known as Armenian cross-stone, is a common element in Armenian sculpture to this day. Every khachkar is unique.
📍Goris, Syunik / Armenia
On April 24, 1915, approximately 250 leading intellectuals of Constantinople's Armenian community -- amongst them political leaders, journalists, and religious leaders -- were arrested by Turkish officials. They were then slain. This event marked the beginning of the 1915 Armenian genocide.
By 1923, Turkish policies of deportation and annihilation resulted in the deaths of around 1.5 million Armenian men, women, and children.
Today, 108 years later, Azerbaijan (and Turkey) are committing the same crime against the Armenians of Artsakh and intend to complete the genocide in the Republic of Armenia.
Following its illegal siege, bombardments and invasion of Artsakh, the government of Azerbaijan arrested these Armenian leaders:
1. Ruben Vardanyan
2. David Babayan
3. Levon Mnatsakanyan
4. Davit Manukyan
5. Arshavir Gharamyan
6. Bako Sahakyan
7. Arkadi Ghukasyan
8. Davit Ishkhanyan
9. Arayik Harutunyan
People from #Artsakh aren’t just numbers
The numbers of deceased individuals are people we know, people we’ve grown up with.
I’ve lost my cousin’s 19yo son, my former teacher and classmate, our neighbor,her son-in-law, my friend’s brother, and others
We are more than just numbers

The lives of the two wounded servicemen are not in danger and they have been safely transported to a military hospital.
The Armenian Ministry of Defense has also confirmed that Azerbaijan continued to fire at ambulances that arrived to help the wounded, a gross violation of international humanitarian law.

A BBC report by correspondent Jonah Fisher discovered that an Armenian Church that fell into Azeri control following the 2020 Turkish-Azeri invasion of Artsakh was completely wiped out in a gross example of cultural genocide: https://t.co/24VqoHf6iz
In a matter of months Stepanakert when from this (L) to this (R).
The Azerbaijani threats, siege, assault and subsequent conquest have sucked all life out of this old city.
This man is from the village of Hnkavan, Mardakert region
-My brother, father’s sister, uncle’s wife stayed there.
Journalist clarifies “how they stayed”
-turks slaughtered them
-Why they couldn't get out?
-I don't know.
-Who did you arrived with?
-With my mother & her sister.
This is becoming absurd now. Which local population are you referring to? Why have you voluntarily chosen to be part of the propaganda of the geoncidal regime in Baku?
Noticing comments from Azerbaijanis outraged by AZ gov's Nagorno-Karabakh propaganda are now tempered by those catching on to AZ's "humanitarian" facade.
On a video of 2 Armenians "getting AZ passports":
"Everyone knows we can't live with them; be patient. It's just a show."
Reporting from Goris, Armenia: Freelance journalist @DKhodanian talks to @BBC about humanitarian efforts to assist Artsakh's 100K+ indigenous Armenian #Christians, forced by Azerbaijan from their ancestral homes following 9 months of starvation & a brutal attack on civilian populations, as the ethnic cleansing of Artsakh continues.
