Today is World Heritage Day. While Google suggests we celebrate this day, it pains me that the world has shut its eyes on the Azerbaijani government and its popular and announced intentions to erase Armenian traces from churches to deny the churches’ Armenian origins.
& this goes back a 100 of years to the Armenian Genocide when Turkey had planned to erase Armenians from the face of the earth.
So, on this World Heritage Day, my wish is for the world to wake up, condemn, and STOP Turkey and Azerbaijan from committing such cultural crimes!
Azerbaijan has blocked access to Artsakh and cut off the gas supply — removing the primary source of food, heat, hot water, and electricity for the Armenians who live there.
We must halt security assistance to Azerbaijan in the face of this aggression against civilians.
Terrorist #Azerbaijan blocking the supply of gas to 120,000 Armenians living in #Artsakh during harsh cold weather. When will this end? Azerbaijan should be condemned for all these evil acts that have been taking place for years! Enough is enough! #AzerbaijanIsATerroristState
Azerbaijan blocking gas supply to Armenians living in Artsakh during winter is a humanitarian crisis. Shame on the @UN@UNHumanRights and all other so called “humanitarian organizations” for not condemning this act of terrorism!
I strongly condem last night's large-scale military attack by Azerbaijan against multiple targets in the territory of the Republic of Armenia.
I call on the international community, in particular the EU 🇪🇺, to meet this unacceptable use of force with an unequivocal response.
As you read this, Azerbaijan is undertaking an illegal war of aggression against Armenia. This is not in Artsakh or in so-called "disputed territory," but within Armenia's sovereign borders. The international community must move immediately to hold Azerbaijan to account.
Last night, Azerbaijan started heavy artillery strikes on Armenia, on peaceful civilian lands recognized internationally as Armenian lands for ages. Till now 49 innocent people have been killed. Azerbaijan is a TERRORIST state and needs to be stopped!
