I strongly condemn this unprovoked attack on Armenia. The pattern of ongoing aggression from Azerbaijani forces is unacceptable and must end immediately.
In today's @Europarl_EN plenary session, @fxbellamy took the floor to address Azerbaijan's ongoing aggression against Armenia. He called for the European Union to take action.
"Let's stop treating this criminal regime as a partner."
1.5M Armenians were killed over 100 years ago by the Islamist Ottoman Empire. It is shameful it has taken so long for formal recognition of this genocide to occur; never done previously for fear of angering Turkey. My aloha is with Armenians everywhere as we remember them today.
The former Turkish consul general in Chicago blocked me because I revealed how he tried - unsuccessfully of course - to influence me and other journalists by offering free trips to Turkey #ArmenianGenocide
We mourn all who were murdered in the Armenian Genocide. When we fail to acknowledge the past, history can repeat itself, which is why I advocated for the U.S to formally recognize this atrocity for what it was: genocide. I commend President Biden for taking action.
We join with Armenians around the world in remembering the #ArmenianGenocide and mourning the human beings murdered during that human-made atrocity. ๐ฆ๐ฒ

Recognition of the Armenian genocide is long overdue, and I applaud President Biden for this announcement. It is important for all of us to look honestly at history to make sure such atrocities never happen again.
Truth-telling and full acknowledgment of injustice can be one of the most important steps towards healing.
Acknowledging the Armenian genocide is long overdue, and I hope this day brings some degree of peace to impacted families and communities as we move forward together.

@harari_yuval I have been enjoying your books sir! About to finish the 3rd one (โ21 Lessonsโ) - I was wondering if you would ever consider writing predominantly about the #ArmenianGenocide & #Holocaust (and #Rwanada/#Darfur) etc
So in sum, today Azerbaijani forces unilaterally violated the ceasefire, in multiple areas, and launched a ground assault aimed at capturing territory (at which they partially succeeded).
You be the judge if this is a government looking for 'peaceful coexistence.'
Two videos of Armenian POWs captured in today's Azerbaijani assault on Hin Tagher in Karabakh have emerged. Instead of exchanging POWs, which still has not happened a month after the war ended, Azerbaijani is actively taking more.
@KaderAriz Weโve been saying it since the Hamidian Massacres, the Armenian Genocide and now this! It is embedded their culture. Beheadings are normal. Safarov case is proof of that. I donโt understand how the world doesnโt listen . Itโs a shame. Thanks for shining light ๐ก
