Azerbaijan continues to occupy 250sq km of Armenia’s sovereign land and commits an #Ecocide in occupied territories.

BREAKING: George Deek, Israel's Special Envoy to the Christian World, says "We never got involved or took position in the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, per se", which led to the ethnic cleansing of Christian Armenians and their Churches from Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).

You have to admire that carefully placed "per se". The amount of heavy lifting it does for Israel's image in the Christian world would've been commendable had it not been a typical hasbara escape hatch, absolving Israel of any responsibility or accountability, and invariably collapsing under the weight of Israel's own record during that war.

In no particular order:

⁃According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), between 2016 and 2020, leading up to the 44 Day War, roughly 69% of weapons exports to Azerbaijan came from Israel, in a war that butchered 5,000 Armenian soldiers, barely adults. So neutral.

⁃The highly advanced Israeli weapons systems included loitering munitions (suicide drones) such as the IAI Harop and Elbit SkyStriker, Hermes 900 reconnaissance drones, Spike anti-tank guided missiles, and LORA surface-to-surface ballistic missiles.

⁃Israeli weapons manufacturer Aeronautics Defense Systems used a suicide drone by attacking Armenian positions during a sale presentation at the behest of Azeri officials who requested a live demonstration.

⁃Israeli military personnel trained Azeri soldiers in piloting drones.

⁃Azerbaijan supplies 65% of Israel's crude oil imports, which are pumped via the BTC pipeline through Georgia and Turkey. A clear energy security and arms agreement: you send oil, we give you weapons.
So neutral.

⁃In December 2023, Azerbaijan effectively blockaded the Lachin Corridor, the only route between Armenia and Artsakh. A starvation campaign ensued for 9 months, targeting hundreds of thousands of Armenian indigenous Christians: Food shortages, supermarket shelves emptied, families lining up for hours for a piece of bread. No fuel. No medicine. Cancer patients requiring urgent treatment were stranded. Malnutrition. Miscarriages.

George Deek was Ambassador at that time. He was there in Baku.

Did he voice concern for the besieged Christians in Artsakh? No. His country enabled it. Haaretz, an Israeli outlet, even published a bombshell report entitled "Israel's fingerprints all over the ethnic cleansing of Nagorno-Karabakh".

To quote the Special Christian envoy himself:

"When violence against a vulnerable minority is ignored because acknowledging it is politically inconvenient, there is a name for it: abandonment."

For Israel, the defense of the Armenian Christian presence in Artsakh was politically inconvenient.

That is why they were complicit in the ethnic cleansing of 150,000 indigenous Christian Armenians from their 2,000-year-old homeland.

"This is not the first time the Vatican has been criticized for its ties to the Azerbaijani regime, which is accused by human rights organizations of ethnically-based persecution of Armenian Christians in border territories."

Did you know that the government of Turkey still prosecutes its citizens who recognize and publicly address the 1915 Armenian Genocide?

On April 21, journalist Tugce Yılmaz appeared before a judge for the second time regarding her article titled “Armenian youth from Turkey speak out: A mourning that has lasted for 109 years.”

Yılmaz is being prosecuted on charges of “insulting the Turkish nation, the State of the Republic of Turkey, and the institutions of the state” in the article she penned regarding the genocide.

The prosecutor requested a conviction against Yılmaz. The court adjourned the hearing until October 20 to allow time for the defense to prepare: https://t.co/c2QdB8rbeG

アゼルバイジャンのイスラム教徒兵士が、クリスマスの日にキリスト教徒のアルメニア人の墓を破壊する。

十字架の刻まれた墓石が倒れていく。

たとえ異教徒だとしても、死者への冒涜を許す宗教なんて日本には必要ない。

過激なムスリムを日本に入れてはならない。

Azerbaijan has destroyed a symbolic cultural landmark in occupied Stepanakert, according to a statement released by ARCTA Artsakh (Artsakh Tourism & Culture Development Agency).

The organization reported that the “Theatrical Fountain,” located on the grounds of the Vahram Papazyan State Drama Theatre, has been demolished. The fountain was considered one of the recognizable symbols of the city.

ARCTA Artsakh described the incident as part of a broader pattern, alleging that monumental artworks are being systematically destroyed across the occupied territories of the occupied Republic of Artsakh, particularly in Stepanakert. The statement characterized these actions as a deliberate policy aimed at erasing Armenian cultural heritage and historical presence in the region.

The group also criticized what it called ongoing silence and inaction in response to such developments. It urged the authorities of the Republic of Armenia to respond at the highest level and to take concrete steps to protect cultural heritage.

At the same time, ARCTA Artsakh called on the international community to intervene, emphasizing its responsibility in safeguarding global cultural heritage and preventing further destruction.

The statement stressed that Armenian cultural heritage is not only central to national identity but also forms part of the broader heritage of humanity, and therefore requires both national prioritization and international protection.

Mount Ararat, the spiritual homeland of the Armenian people, looms large over Armenia both physically and spiritually. Visible on clear days from Yerevan and much of western Armenia, it stands as a reminder of Armenian heritage as well as a reminder of how much Armenia has lost

[The Aramaic Wire ܣܘܪܝܐ @AramaicWire]

I want to do a deep dive into Karabakh.

I want to understand exactly what happened to the Armenians there.

I want to know why the world is ignoring the extermination of Armenian Christians 100 years after the Armenian Genocide.

[Nara @nmatini]

Now watch how 🇮🇱Israeli cluster bombs were being dropped on peaceful Armenian communities by Israel’s war criminal strategic partner #Azerbaijan. Don’t remember Israel being concerned that it was a war crime…

[Karina Karapetyan @KarinaKarapety8]

Safarov was awarded the title of "National Hero of #Azerbaijan" by #Aliyev precisely for this despicable murder. Whatever the "leader" is, so are the "heroes".

Unbelievable level of anti-Armenian hate has been unleashed by Turkish #ArmenianGenocide denier @DrOzCMS with his viral hateful video targeting the Armenian community in LA.

Impossible to report them all but pls report this one for hate & glorification of violence.

[Shirak @FoolofArmenia]

The location of Martyrdom and burial of Saint Bartholomew, an Armenian monastery sadly now in turkey and now in ruins as a result, and you won't see outrage from so called christians worldwide.

If disrespect to an apostle of Christ won't move you, what will?
