Panelist @Anoush_B conducted 200+ interviews w/ Syrian Armenian victims of the Syrian war (@RerootedArchive). Top 3 answers frm a 50-question survey re what justice would look like to them: 1) rebuilding infrastructure; 2) ensuring minority protections in Syria; 3) reunify Syria.

Rerooted has submitted its report to the @UN_HRC Commission of Inquiry on Syria. We urge the COI to follow 7 distinct measures, including the opening of a formal investigation, to address the wartime events experienced by the Syrian-Armenian community.

The Armenian Genocide set off a mass wave of forced displacement in the Armenian community that continued into several generations. You can listen to testimonies from the twice-displaced Syrian-Armenian community at https://t.co/wSpcmDHPeu

"It is not only about April 24th. It is not only about tears...We have been reborn and are still living." Ani Avakian's family was forcibly displaced from their ancestral home in Marash to Aleppo during the Genocide, then Yerevan during the Syrian War. https://t.co/odO8lXZDOv

We send our solidarity to the people from all backgrounds in Ukraine. Armenians, like many across the world, have felt the pain and fear of war through generations and in current lifetimes. We push for a world where no one experiences violence and forced displacement.

Many refugees and displaced people flee from unspeakable violence.

This can leave deep scars — not only on their bodies but also on their soul and minds. This is why it is vital that they receive professional psychosocial care.

Climate change is driving displacement. It is making refugees and people forced to flee even more vulnerable.

We all have a responsibility to act. What will you do?

[Dominique Isabelle Hyde @DominiqueHyde]

Beautifully written-Zarlasht Halaimzai tells us what it’s really like to be a refugee.
“ It is difficult to describe the feeling of dislocation. People who are born in places that protect them from the misery of displacement find it hard to understand.”
