The situation now in Nagorno-Karabakh is very simple. Local authorities have surrendered, and Azerbaijan is in the process of carrying out mass ethnic cleansing of the 120,000 people there. Either speak up about it or shut the fuck up about human rights forever.
We are sharing our recent Op-Ed again for background information. Sadly, the potential for genocide of Armenians Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh is worse now because of full-scale attacks by Azerbaijan on the civilian population after months of blockade & starvation. We appeal to the US government & international community to intervene immediately to prevent a humanitarian disaster. Follow the links @ArmenianUCLA@esrailian for more information on the crisis & to learn how you can help
120,000 civilians including 30,000 children in Nagorno Karabakh are under military attack.
Azerbaijan has restarted war against Nagorno Karabakh, shelling civilians and civilian infrastructure after 9 months of deliberate blockade, famine and denial of humanitarian access.
As experts have said - this is Genocide.
I call on my fans, the world of sports and media colleagues to react and help spread the voice for restoring peace.
Children are NOT a target, and yet 1 child has already been killed and 11 injured. @UNICEF@unicefarmenia #NagornoKarabakh
Genocide-denier @DrOz claims his opponent @JohnFetterman is "soft on crime".
Oz is soft on crimes against humanity.
There's no place for genocide denial in Congress. #StopOz

Today is Armenian Independence Day, and their democracy and sovereignty is under attack.
The U.S. must support our ally. I stand with #Armenia 🇦🇲
I strongly condemn Azerbaijan’s recent attacks on Armenia, including strikes against innocent civilians.
The @StateDept acted quickly to broker a ceasefire, but the U.S. must take further action & end military support for Azerbaijan.
