When I left television to launch a channel focused on covering the Syrian Civil War it was 2012. This wasn’t yet a famous conflict - in fact, it was widely ignored. I’m immensely proud of the stories and voices we captured during the early years of the war. It’s an important archive for the present and future #Syria.

My friend @FaisalJAbbas asked me to write a oped on this week’s historic events in Syria. Here’s where I place things, a lot of connecting the dots from 13 years of war.

This caught me up quickly on #Syria. Thanks, @CamilleOtrakji.

[Camille Alex Otrakji @CamilleOtrakji]

My statements in @AnanTello ‘ s article on the situation in Syria, on @arabnews

“While large-scale public demonstrations remain relatively scarce, there is a noticeable shift in the Syrian populace’s willingness to openly and boldly voice criticism of their government and leadership,” Camille Otrakji, a Syrian Canadian analyst, told Arab News.

“Syria’s GDP (gross domestic product) and its annual budget have dwindled significantly from their pre-Arab Spring levels,” said Otrakji, the Syrian Canadian analyst. “The Syrian government currently operates with severely limited financial resources, a situation that is far from sustainable in the long run.

“In this precarious financial state, Syria is poised to seek assistance, either from willing Arab states or by deepening its reliance on Iran.”

He lamented the fact that “beyond the stark divergence in expectations regarding the elusive political solution in Syria,” the country has become “a fertile ground for regional and international conflicts.”

He added: “Regrettably, none of these conflicts show signs of nearing resolution, further entrenching Syria as a battleground for competing interests.”

"Food and medicine urgently need to reach the population in Nagorno-Karabakh. Civilians shouldn’t be held hostage to political and geopolitical contests for power," writes @Lara

Wrote this piece with my colleague Benyamin Poghosyan, Senior Research Fellow at APRI Armenia, on the importance of breaking the blockade on #NagornoKarabakh. Forced starvation and desperation do not help neighboring countries on the path to peace. There must be a way forward that does not come at a cruel cost to civilians.

[POLITICOEurope @POLITICOEurope]

OPINION: 120,000 ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh are running out of food, medicine and fuel due to Azerbaijan’s blockade.

It's time for Europe to step in — and launch an airlift of supplies if necessary.

The UN Security Council will discuss worsening humanitarian situation in the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh on Wednesday.
