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.
In Stepanakert, Artsakh, an Armenian cathedral that once sheltered families from bombs has been erased from the skyline.
Demolished days before Armenian Genocide Remembrance.
This is not peace.
It is erasure.

Satellite imagery confirms Azerbaijan demolished two historic Christian churches in Nagorno-Karabakh. Critics are calling it "cultural genocide" against Armenian heritage.
