Azerbaijan tries to cover their genocidal agenda with a global climate conference, pretending to be a moral country while our political prisoners remain behind Baku bars.
Turkish fascists celebrating genocide — counter-protesting the Armenian Genocide March for Justice in Washington, DC today.
109 years on, Armenian Genocide denial is as prolific and normalized as ever.
Azerbaijanis deny that they ethnically cleansed Nagorno-Karabakh, then post videos and caption them, “Khankendi is being cleansed of all traces of Armenians.”
(And note the fascist, ultranationalist Grey Wolves gesture at the end)
Rain is pouring in Artsakh. People burying loved ones. People rushing to leave with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Some tell me “where am I supposed to go — this is the only home I know.”
120,000 heartbreaking stories.
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
The US managed to evacuate 120,000 people from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
But the US hasn’t lifted a finger to help evacuate — let alone provide assistance to — the 120,000 Armenians facing ethnic cleansing at the hands of its so-called ally Azerbaijan.
The US is impotent.
Families are leaving behind everything but the clothes on their back. Children robbed of a childhood. The reality for thousands in Artsakh right now. It is the collective responsibility of every Armenian around the world to make sure our people are taken care of.
We haven’t been able to establish contact with many of our @TeachForArmenia teachers in #NagornoKarabakh, & there are confirmed cases of our murdered students.
Aliyev will stop at nothing to eradicate Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh.
I introduced bipartisan legislation to solidify our support for Armenians & show that the US will not stand idly by in the face of brutal campaigns of starvation and military action. https://t.co/Dr3jV4XT2H
Massive crisis is currently unfolding here as over 50,000 people have been displaced in Artsakh. A humanitarian corridor is need now to save the lives of these people.
"We join with our allies in the Armenian Caucus in calling on @JoeBiden, consistent with our obligations under the Genocide Convention, to lead efforts within the UN Security Council to establish a mandate to aid, administer & protect at-risk #Artsakh.”

“How the US responds in the aftermath of Azerbaijan’s latest unprovoked assault on Artsakh will be a test of its commitment to not only combating authoritarian expansionism—but also in the duty to prevent further atrocities.”

September 14: Ambassador Yuri Kim @StateEUR testifies, "The United States will not countenance any action or effort—short-term or long-term—to ethnically cleanse or commit other atrocities against the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh."
September 19: U.S. valued partner #Azerbaijan invades #NagornoKarabakh.
What will you do, @POTUS, @SecBlinken?
Azerbaijani military is moving rapidly towards civilian population centers in Artsakh. The situation is incredibly tense. The lives of 120,000 people are at stake.
Azerbaijan ignored your calls for it to lift its blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh for 9 months. Why would it listen now?
And why would AZ listen to you, who argued in favor of continued US military aid to the genocidal Aliyev regime during said blockade?

Four days ago, @StateEUR said “the United States will not countenance any action to ethnically cleanse or commit other atrocities against the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh.”
Now, genocide is unfolding on Washington’s watch.
When will the U.S. step up and act?
