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.
Aserbaidschan hat versprochen, die Tür zu #Bergkarabach für die Augen & Ohren der internationalen Gemeinschaft zu öffnen. Ein eigenes, unabhängiges Bild der Lage vor Ort ist dringender denn je. Daher ist es wichtig, dass der Besuch der #UN nun umgehend stattfindet. 1/2
Blatant ethnic cleansing in Nagorno Karabakh calls for tough EU sanctions… but also a rethink on how energy dependent we are on such regimes.
When will the EU finally learn to play the geopolitical game with force, not words?

Dear Armenians, growing up in Azerbaijan as a Talysh has taught me a lot. They will try to convince you that you are powerless, that no one will help you, and that you will be alone forever. They will try to create deep despair in you. Remember one thing: If they have money, we have truths. And the truth is that we never, ever chose to be slaves to evil regimes. Because we are sons of Liberty! We are daughters of Liberty!
I don’t care what Turkey, Russia, Israel want. I don’t care about how they are powerful. I know only one thing: Their power is no greater than our truth and faith.
A long line of Armenians at the border between Karabakh and Armenia today. People leaving their homeland and lives behind with their future unclear. This is an exodus of historic proportions. Thousands of lives ruined in less than a week.
I guess soon the Az government will create a narrative about some 30.000 Armenians who stayed in Artsakh and became happily integrated citizens of Az . On their public TV they will show a 90 yo old woman from Artsakh being grateful to Aliyev she was not killed or tortured.
Aliyev’s trolls have a clear task: flood under every tweet on the ongoing genocide of Nagorno-Karabakh with “Armenians did the same in the 1990s,” as if Azerbaijanis were the only victims of the first war. A twisted, genocidal regime that will be held accountable in due time.
Der gewaltsam herbeigeführte Exodus der Armenier*innen aus Bergkarabach ist kein Erfolg, der gefeiert werden sollte.
Der Exodus ist die einzige Alternative zur Auslöschung der Bevölkerung durch die Aserbaidschaner.

Today our teams facilitated a medical evacuation of 23 wounded patients in 23 ambulances via Lachin corridor to offer life-saving aid to patients in need.
The ICRC led the operation while playing its unique role of neutral intermediary.

USAID has spent more on photographers for @PowerUSAID's current trip to Armenia than it spent on humanitarian aid programs in #Artsakh over the past three years. #priorities
I hope nobody ever gets to experience the absolute gaslighting, victim-blaming, in best-case scenarios the indifference that the Artsakh Armenians are experiencing from the so-called human rights champions of the West. We will never forget.
For years, walking through the residential streets of Stepanakert would unveil views of laundry lines drawn back and forth in harmony.
The residents of these still-standing buildings either have left or will soon leave. These famous lines of laundry will be taken down forever.
@The01dFashyan Just because I don't want to be used in someone's political game, it doesn't make me heartless.
Իմ սիրտն էլ ա ցավում, ոնց որ ցանկացած հայ մարդու։
I am just posing questions to figure out the situation.
Pashinyan should be banished with all his followers and idiot wife.
Nikol Pashinyan MUST GO! No two ways about it. Him and his utterly incompetent lackeys who caressed his ego instead of putting institutional brakes on his delusional, unworkable, and bizarre policy decisions, also made this day possible.
The entire Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh is currently being forcibly deported. Due to the lack of international presence, Azerbaijani reps force them to claim that they are leaving voluntarily. They're leaving because Aliyev has left them with no other option to survive
