Ana Kasparian Spotlights Armenian Genocide, Azerbaijan’s Ethnic Cleansing of Artsakh and Israel’s Role, in Explosive Interview With Tucker Carlson 🇦🇲🇺🇸
➖➖➖
Armenian-American journalist Ana Kasparian spoke about the 2020 war in Artsakh, the ethnic cleansing of Armenians by Azerbaijan, the destruction of ancient Armenian churches, Israel’s role in arming Azerbaijan, the Armenian Genocide, and the Armenian diaspora’s survival in places like Syria, Lebanon, Iran, and the United States in an interview with Tucker Carlson on the Tucker Carlson Network, released July 25, 2025, reports Zartonk Media.
Tucker Carlson, one of the most influential media figures in the world, has 16.5 million followers on X (formerly Twitter). The episode featuring Kasparian has already surpassed one million views within its first 24 hours. His podcast regularly ranks among the most-watched political shows online, with previous episodes garnering millions of views across platforms including X, YouTube, and his own network website. The 90-minute podcast covered a wide range of issues, but it was a roughly 10-minute exchange on Armenia, Artsakh, and the legacy of genocide and displacement that stood out as one of the episode’s most emotional and historically significant moments.
The full conversation also touched on subjects including the Jeffrey Epstein case, the evolution of political parties in America, defunding the police, U.S. involvement in foreign wars, California’s decline, Gavin Newsom’s record, corporate media’s manipulation, Tucker Carlson’s presidential prospects, online backlash, class tensions among liberals, centralized power and surveillance, Israel’s strike on Gaza’s only Catholic church, and the future of media in the United States.
A Raw, Unfiltered Look at Armenia and the 2020 Artsakh War
Midway through the conversation, Carlson asked Kasparian — whose surname hints at her Armenian heritage — about the largely forgotten war between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the region of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).
Kasparian didn’t hold back. She described how Azerbaijan launched a brutal military offensive in 2020 to retake the Armenian-majority region. “They [Azerbaijan] engaged in ethnic cleansing,” she said. “They were forced out if they weren’t killed.”
She detailed how ancient churches were bombed, entire communities displaced, and thousands of ethnic Armenians forced to flee to Armenia — a small, landlocked nation already strained by its geography and history.
Stalin’s Legacy and the Seeds of Conflict
Kasparian walked Carlson through the Soviet-era roots of the conflict, noting how Joseph Stalin had strategically handed Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) to Azerbaijan, despite its overwhelmingly Armenian population, in order to keep both Armenians and Azeris dependent on Moscow.
“Stalin was evil in a lot of ways, but he was also very smart — which is the most dangerous combination.”
Global Silence and Media Neglect
When Carlson asked why the destruction of Christian churches wasn’t drawing international outrage, Kasparian was blunt: “American media doesn’t care about Armenia. Armenians don’t have a powerful lobby that can bribe our politicians to care about them.”
Carlson expanded the conversation to a broader concern: “I see a global theme where the most peaceful religion in the world is taking the most abuse… and there’s the most murder of Christians. I just am amazed that nobody says anything in the United States.”
Kasparian lamented that the U.S. has failed to respond — not just diplomatically, but morally — to what she characterized as an open campaign of ethnic and religious cleansing.
Israel’s Role in the Conflict
Perhaps the most provocative moment came when Kasparian addressed Israel’s sale of weapons to Azerbaijan, which she said were used in the 2020 assault on Artsakh. Carlson, visibly taken aback, asked for confirmation multiple times.

Powerful moment on the JRE.
"We are not the result of random accident of astrophysics and chemistry. We are the images of an eternal creator, who put us here for a purpose. To be able to see and perceive the Creator's majesty as reflected most within us, as individual human beings who have received the gift of love, of perception, of discernment, and the ability to connect to the majestic eternal love of that creator."

"It's crucial for the wider world to know this great transformation has not come from Western interventionists, or flying people in beautiful planes giving you lectures on how to live and how to govern your own affairs."
"In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built and the interventionalists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand themselves."
"No, the gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called 'nation builders,' neocons, or liberal non-profits like those who spent trillions and trillions of dollars failing to develop Baghdad, so many other cities."
"Instead, the birth of a modern Middle East has been brought by the people of the region themselves, the people that are right here, the people that have lived here all their lives, developing your own sovereign countries, pursuing your own unique visions and charting your own destinies in your own way."
"They told you how to do it, but they had no idea how to do it themselves. Peace, prosperity, and progress ultimately came not from a radical rejection of your heritage, but rather from embracing your national traditions and embracing that same heritage that you love so dearly."
"You achieved a modern miracle the Arabian way."
No wonder they respect him so much.
