We thank @RepGusBilirakis for his steadfast support in pursuing the release of Armenian hostages. #FreeArmenianHostages

[Skeptic Armenian @skepticarmenian]

Robert Kocharyan is talking about his experience that he gained during his presidency, “our advantage is our experience, and we have proven this in practice."

-1999 Parliament Massacre of PM Vazgen Sargsyan and 7 MPs.
-2008 Massacre of Armenian protesters on the streets of Yerevan.
-Depopulated Armenia.

Very sincere, honest, and praiseworthy words, Bravo Rob. How can we ever forget your experience?

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

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.

The photo was taken in the Kalbajar District. Sheykha Khanum was unable to evacuate with the other Azerbaijanis and was forced to stay behind at home.

The soldier in the photo is Sarkis Hatspanian, a repatriate from Turkey, a Karabakh War veteran, and later a political activist who criticized corruption in Armenia. He passed away in France in 2018.

The arms sales to Azerbaijan have heightened tension between Armenia and Belarus, which are supposed to be allies as part of a military alliance.

Let's put this out there, so that all the cheap propagandists, Russia trolls, Kocharyan fanboys, @ANCA_DC, & everyone else spreading disinformation about Armenia can check themselves. Great deal of work is going on behind the scenes to free our POWs, and they will be.

[Ani Wandaryan @GoldenTent]

The @nytimes article on yesterday’s Pashinyan-Trump-Aliyev meeting is quite thorough & mentions many of the unaddressed problems & concerns of Armenians as well as Iran. It also points out that it is *not a peace treaty. Thanks ⁦@karoun⁩ https://t.co/1pm4p4wUAE via @NYTimes

@vartan84 Correct. Section 907 is an act of Congress. The President can only waive it, as has been done consecutively by US Administrations in the past since 9/11. Only Congress can alter it or negate it.

[Olesya Vartanyan @Olesya_vArt]

.@UNHCRArmenia’s latest update shows the EU has fully taken over funding for Nagorno-Karabakh refugees - a role once held by the U.S.

No American funds have been spent since Trump’s 2nd term began, when the U.S. cut support to most UN agencies.

[Lusine @lusine_djanyan]

Western media’s silence on the destruction of Armenian cultural heritage in Artsakh is deafening. Journalist Mischa Geracoulis calls it a human rights failure, rooted in decades of ignored genocide and erasure

"Azerbaijan's wine history—and its unexpected German past".
Karabakh wines? Vohrer’s family may have set "Göygöl Wine Plant, in 1860" & "unearthed jugs in Göygöl" may have traces of wine dating to 2nd millennium BCE" but it was NOT Azerbaijan

As the Russian Church showers praise on Azerbaijan - a regime that has ethnically cleansed a Christian population - what do Russians like Prince du Karabaque do?

They attempt to normalize the grotesque.

To repaint the world in shades of cynicism, where morality doesn’t exist and decency is a relic. Why? Because only in a world devoid of values can Russia’s betrayal be whitewashed.

“It’s just interests,” they say.
“Just business.”
“Everyone does it.”
“Don’t be a hysterical child - sit down.”

But let’s pause for a second. Are all actions really just business? Are there truly no lines left?

Why, then, does France support Armenia?

France has a far larger Muslim and Turkish population than Armenian. Wouldn’t it be more pragmatic - more “business-like” - for the French government and the French Church to behave like Russia? To stay quiet, or worse, flatter the regime that committed ethnic cleansing?

And yet - we don’t see that.

So maybe not everybody does it. Maybe there are still those who remember the difference between betrayal and principle.

France could have taken the easy route - appease the oil state, avoid friction with its large Turkish and Muslim communities. But instead, its Senate and National Assembly passed resolutions in support of Artsakh’s right to self-determination. It condemned Azerbaijan’s aggression. It sent humanitarian aid. It provided training and helped with army reforms. Mayors of cities like Paris, Marseille, and Lyon didn’t hesitate to speak out, even when the French executive stayed cautious.

Greece - a small country with no treaty obligations to Armenia - also spoke clearly. When Azerbaijan attacked, Greece didn’t hide behind empty neutrality. It condemned the aggression. Not for gas. Not for gain. But because some lines matter.

Even the European Parliament, a slow-moving, often indecisive body, managed to call the forced exodus from Artsakh by its real name: ethnic cleansing.

Now contrast that with Russia - Armenia’s so-called “strategic ally,” bound by CSTO defense agreements, military treaties, mutual commitments. Bound on paper. And what did Russia do?

Nothing. No protection. No intervention.
Worse - it armed Azerbaijan. It praised the aggressor. It stood by while ethnic Armenians were forced from their homes - and it called that silence diplomacy.

And that’s the point: some nations without any legal obligation did more for Armenia than the one bound by signed agreements, shared history, and supposed “brotherhood.”

Azerbaijan's leader Ilham Aliyev touting the country's green zones at #COP29. @m_civillini viisted them in May. The zones are in areas where Armenians were recently forced out by Azerbaijan's military https://t.co/F1Q9cPJDir

[Armenian Council @ArmenianCouncil]

The US & European countries issued condemnations but stopped short, as they always do, of labelling Azerbaijan’s actions as #genocide, opting to preserve geopolitical alliances rather than take actions required under the convention to prevent genocide. https://t.co/kbRHxa1M47

[Joe Lo @joeloyo]

Azerbaijan's leader Ilham Aliyev uses his #Cop29 climate summit speech to attacks Armenians, "fake news" journalists and climate campaigners. And to repeat that Azerbaijan's fossil fuels are a "gift from god". He was expected to announce a new climate plan but did not.

[Armenian Council @ArmenianCouncil]

Another example of Azerbaijan's petro-dictatorship attempting to conceal its genocidal actions.

Azerbaijan should not be hosting #COP29, yet Western hypocrisy persists.
