I am pretty over the moon about this. Thank you @armliterary for this support. I am so grateful to judges Susan Barba, Aram Mrjoian and Nadia Owusu for seeing promise in my work. And, congratulations Sarah Elgatian - clearly one to watch.

Jordan withdrew it due to pressure by Azerbaijan as they don’t want the world to see their ethnic cleansing of Armenians in Nagorno-Karabagh

We have a moral obligation to use COP29 to shed light on Azerbaijan's war crimes against the Armenian people and hold the Azerbaijani government accountable—Azerbaijan must release all of its political prisoners. https://t.co/VCP1aA7Db2
