In a conversation with @brentroske, @SamuelBrownback sheds light on the overlooked mass exodus from #Artsakh and discusses the ongoing challenge of limited coverage of this conflict in the U.S. media.
"It's shocking that there are lobby firms in this city that represent the Azerbaijan government. How do you represent a government that is bringing about genocide and ethnic cleansing?" - Question from former US Rep Frank Wolf to BGR, Baker Donelson & Friedlander

Azerbaijan’s illegal annexation of Nagorno-Karabakh is a crime not only against Armenia, but the global rule of law as well @OriginsD https://t.co/05zhzb6Np3
Thank you @senmarcorubio for spearheading S.3000 - sanctioning Azerbaijan & removing Presidential authority to waive Section 907 to stop all security aid to the Aliyev regime.
Urge your Senators to act now: https://t.co/OO4v4JVWWY

"Mr. President, if you can be pushed around by a low-life like Aliyev, how can we expect you to stand up to thugs like Putin or strongmen like Xi Jinping?" - Ken Khachigian

A dark legacy of Brian McKeon's @bpmckeon64 government service will be his signature on the 2022 Sec. 907 waiver on US military aid to an Azerbaijani army that genocided #Artsakh's 120,000 indigenous Christian Armenians.

"A shameful abandonment [by the US Government] of our moral duty," ANCA’s Tereza Yerimyan said. "A dangerous signal to the authoritarians of this world. A green light for the next genocide."

Under @PowerUSAID, @USAID did not spend a single dollar on programs in #Artsakh
She refused before Congress to call Artsakh's 9+ months under Azeri blockade a crisis
Then showed up w/ promise of aid (and her photographers) after entire indigenous population had been forced out
“Sanction Azerbaijan or go back to your country. You don’t care, stop the lies.”
Armenians see through this performative display by @PowerUSAID — the friendly face of US complicity in Baku’s ethnic cleansing of Artsakh.
No more “deep concern” — hold Azerbaijan accountable.
“How the US responds in the aftermath of Azerbaijan’s latest unprovoked assault on Artsakh will be a test of its commitment to not only combating authoritarian expansionism—but also in the duty to prevent further atrocities.”

For 280 days Azerbaijan blockaded us, tried to starve us, did everything to ethnically cleanse us, yet the people of Artsakh endured — so now they’re just trying to kill us.
So @JoeBiden's 25-minute address today before the UN General Assembly - DURING AZERBAIJANI ARTILLERY ATTACK ON #ARTSAKH'S 120,000 CHRISTIAN ARMENIANS - made no mention of Baku's genocidal blockade & aggression!

What did President Biden know, and when did he know it?
Well-placed sources report that @JoeBiden knew even prior to Azerbaijan's blockade that Ilham Aliyev had ordered his military to commit genocide, emptying #Artsakh of indigenous Christian Armenians

Fresh evidence of Azerbaijan's genocidal attack on #Artsakh - indiscriminate artillery fire into residential neighborhoods of Stepanakert.

WHAT IS THE @StateDept HIDING?
Why exactly was Yuri Kim (@StateEUR) afraid to openly and honestly answer a simple question about Azerbaijani dictator Aliyev's motives for his genocidal blockade of #Artsakh's 120,000 indigenous Christian Armenians?
WHY DO THEY SO FEAR ALIYEV?
Today is a chance for Yuri Kim to get it right
To stand resolutely against an ongoing genocide
To save #Artsakh & hold Azerbaijan accountable
To be an upstander in a @StateDept of bystanders
To establish her legacy as a truthteller in the tradition of Morgenthau & Wallenberg
