We, Armenian activists indigenous to Artsakh, Nakhijevan, and Western Armenia, condemn the silence of politicians, NGOs, and civil society on Armenian indigenous rights at COP29.
#COP 29 is 100 days away. COP 29 is about climate justice. This year the summit will take place in Azerbaijan, a country actively detaining POWs and hostages illegally. Azerbaijan it's time to meet the justice challenge. Free the POW #FreeArmenianHostages#StopGreenwashGenocide
"The release of all prisoners, cooperation on the fate of missing persons and on demining efforts are “decisive elements” for lasting peace between #Armenia and Azerbaijan" @ToivoKlaar supports #FreeArmenianHostages 🇪🇺
The UN-sponsored climate change conference, COP29, is scheduled to take place in Azerbaijan this November. Despite the historic conference's focus on sustainability and justice, its host country's actions starkly contrast these principles. Azerbaijan's significant contributions to global warming and persistent human rights violations make it an unsuitable host for the world's largest climate change conference. Their claims of making a positive global impact are contradictory, as they continue to detain, degrade, and torture hostages and POWs.

For over eight months, eight former Nagorno Karabakh officials, including Ruben Vardanyan, have been wrongfully detained as political prisoners by Azerbaijan. We must hold Azerbaijan accountable and ensure it doesn’t delay the release of its political prisoners even one more day.
We are proud to publish our 2023 Open Letter on #WPS on behalf of 617 civil society signatories from 100 countries.

Russia has fully activated its information & hybrid warfare tools against Armenia. The population of Artsakh will be weaponized by Moscow & Baku to traumatize Armenian society, with the hopes of triggering domestic violence & instability. Russia's biggest mouthpieces are active.
For 9 months we’re alerting the intl media that a blockade is occurring & genocide is being prepared, but only a few leading outlets reported on it.
In the last 2 days I’ve got dozens of requests, only 5 from BBC.
Were you waiting for hundreds to be killed & thousands displaced?
Azerbaijan's attack on #NagornoKarabakh, some background:
1. The attack was unprovoked, despite Azerbaijan's claims to the contrary, and comes after a 9-month siege intended to weaken and starve the 120,000 Armenian Christians who live in what Armenians call #Artsakh
Friend in Martakert says Azerbaijani shelling has been constant, and two just fell in front of her house.
She is a civilian in a civilian area. Azerbaijan is targeting civilians, because its goal is the complete ethnic cleansing of Armenians from Artsakh.
This is nothing short of a massacre. Starving people for 9 months and then directly killing them. There isn't even enough fuel for ambulances in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Azerbaijan is currently bombing Stepanakert. Woman and children are all being sent into bunkers. This is the brutality of the Azerbaijani regime, this is the cause of carelessness of the rest of the world.
⚡️Azerbaijan has initiated a massive artillery attack against Nagorno Karabakh, targeting cities and civilians on a large scale. After imposing an 8-month total blockade on 120,000 Armenians, subjecting them to starvation and enduring moral and psychological hardships, they are now deliberately targeting them for elimination. This serves as perfect proof that inaction and mere calls and appeals to Aliyev are ineffective. He has disregarded all warnings, which will inevitably lead to numerous human tragedies. The international community bears responsibility for the events unfolding in Nagorno Karabakh.
