Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let history repeat itself.
In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had begun over 100 years prior.
On this day of remembrance, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian people — and all people — to freedom, safety, and self-determination.
I urge to @jahimes cosponsor H.R. 6840, the Armenia Security Partnership Act, and call for the immediate release of Armenian Christian hostages held in Azerbaijan. No real peace without their freedom
How touching.
Meanwhile, here’s the Azerbaijani gov's fabricated 'Western Azerbaijan Community' taking 'symbolic steps' towards Zangezur (Syunik) at a 'Return to Western AZ' festival. Guessing their timeline for Armenian presence is just a bit shorter than 'millennia to come'.
@301arm@SrbazanBagrat I liked you guys much more before you became so biased about this movement. Thought you were very objective. This subjective reporting rubs those who want unadulterated truth the wrong way. This is unfortunate.
BREAKING: The Dutch Parliament passed two proposals by an overwhelming majority: one regarding military support for Armenia and the other concerning ethnic cleansing in Artsakh.
In the military support proposal, the Parliament noted that after the attack on Artsakh by Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan announced an attack on Armenia.
The legislative body of the Netherlands requested the government to urge other EU member states to respond positively to a potential request for military assistance from Armenia.
Regarding the second point - in accordance with the UN's definition of ethnic cleansing, the Parliament asked the government to determine whether the deportation of Armenians from Artsakh falls under the definition of ethnic cleansing after a 9-month blockade and attack on the territory of Artsakh.
Being an Azerbaijani 🇦🇿means living on Persian 🇮🇷 and Armenian 🇦🇲 soil, reading Russian 🇷🇺 literature, having Armenian 🇦🇲 architecture, believing in the Arab 🇸🇦 religion, celebrating Talysh holidays, buying Western technologies, listening to Caucasian 🇦🇲 music, drinking Georgian 🇬🇪 wine.
But at the end of the day you claim that everything belongs to you, and you hate all these peoples who gave you all of this beauty.

On October 13, another shipment of weaponry from Israel landed in Azerbaijan.
Despite the war on its own territory, Israel continues to fulfill its contractual obligations.
Azerbaijani propaganda has released a “revelation” that the 13th c. inscriptions of Gandzasar — the jewel of Armenian architecture now under Azerbaijani occupation — are fake. The “proof” is this faded area that, as Dr. Hamlet Petrosyan points out, is due to rain drain
One must be extremely naive to think another round of ethnic cleansing in Armenia’s southern half is not a price the west is willing to accept in order to greatly weaken Iran by cutting its land access to the north
“they wouldn’t let that happen” (hopefully we have learned our lesson)
It greatly benefits IsraelI interests
It benefits NATO interests
It appeases Azerbaijan and Turkey (something the EU and USA are known for)
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.
How azerbaijanis treat you on the way? Asks journalist.
- They approached to the car, my hands were on the wheel, and they forced me to take the ring off my finger and give it to them. My children were in the car, how can I argue with the azeris?
In Artsakh, several thousand people have remained, & seems all of them are waiting for their turn to flee.
The rest are either in Armenia or on their way.
Nobody is ready to live under Azerbaijani subjugation & endure tough threats.
What is this if not genocide with intl support?
@IntlCrimCourt Look into the cultural distruction that’s been taking place in #Artsakh ever since 2020 war. There are numerous satellite images of before and after of places of cultural importance as well as churches, monasteries, and chapples that have been leveled to the ground by #Azerbaijan
