Happy birthday to Eleanor Roosevelt, born #otd on October 11, 1884! In addition to all her work for equal rights and peace, she chaired JFK's Commission on the Status of Women, created in 1961.

Great article on international law and diplomacy surrounding the current ethnic cleansing by Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh. https://t.co/fAP5g5xYHe

[Lindsey Snell @LindseySnell]

Mirror propaganda from Aliyev, who says Armenians of Karabakh are AZ citizens who have been brainwashed by Armenia against AZ.

Azerbaijanis who criticized AZ's attacks yesterday were detained, interrogated, and literally brainwashed.

Imagine what AZ will do to the Armenians.

[Ms.Bolles @MsBolles114]

9th graders using technology and old fashioned critical thinking to analyze Soviet propaganda!

[Rahim Shaliyev @rahimsaliyev]

Azeris ask me why I support Armenians. History is of no interest to me when it comes to this. I'm more interested in the situation regarding human rights and society building.

Even as billions of dollars come to Azerbaijan from oil revenues, we haven't been able to establish an adequate country. People are filled with hate towards one another. All the books, television and media channels propagate hate against Russians, Americans, Persians, Armenians.

Those who demand war don't go to fight. Those who get injured in the war are unable to receive treatment. People who want to work and live normally go to the West or Russia, the very countries that are the target of hate. But they say that "territorial integrity is sacred and it needs to be upheld". If people can't live on thatz land in a humane manner then what use is territorial integrity?

This is why I am not on the side of a state that does not value humans. Armenians fight for their freedoms. Azeris will come out righteous only once they establish a state that serves people.

Pop in and see us tomorrow at our Open House!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

As a member of Congress, a Cabinet member, a Governor, and as an Ambassador, Bill Richardson was one of the most distinguished public servants of our time. He was a tireless diplomat, the type of advocate who brought a glimmer of hope – and in many cases freedom – to those Americans detained abroad under the most trying circumstances. I was grateful for his counsel over the years, and Michelle and I send our love to his wife Barbara and his entire family.
