Red Cross statement re Lachin corridor. It is unfortunate that the critical work of humanitarian organizations is not only obstructed by petty politics, but also subjected to appeasing bogus “concerns.” It’s a dictator’s world & we’re just living in it — that’s what this means.

Just the one thought? Not the thousands of Syrians you shipped to Karabakh, sent to the front lines to die, then didn’t pay? Or 9 year old Vika Gevorgyan, who was killed by shelling on Sep. 27? Or her 5 year old brother who died when you cut the gas supply to Artsakh for 2 weeks?

All we asked for was respect in our time of grief — a small request that the event be canceled due to the collective mourning of 1,000 Armenian students at USC. Those 30 measly seats were worth more to @USCAnnenberg than our suffering? If local media would like details DM me.

This is rich. A foreign socialist movement backs an anti-democratic opposition that openly associates with corrupt billionaire-oligarchs in a post-Soviet country. Can’t make this stuff up. Hypocrisy and “didn’t do my research” at its finest.

Just to make sure everyone’s on the same page, Armenia and Artsakh are countries worth fighting for. That’s the only reason they exist today. Because they’re worth the trouble.

I wonder how much the Azerbaijani “eco activists” currently creating a massive humanitarian catastrophe for the 120,000 peaceful civilians in Nagorno Karabakh, including 30,000 children, are being paid for their “environmental activism.”

There is no room for selectivity in human rights. You’re as complicit as every last one of them and a disgrace to the human rights community. The least you could do is not say anything when the issue is so sensitive & fresh. Tone deaf, shameful…spoken from a place of privilege.

There is no excuse for war crime, no matter who commits it. All war crimes of both sides need to be brought to justice. Azerbaijani civil society demanded and several criminal cases were launched, several people arrested. No sign of such demand from Armenian civil society. 1/3

The EU will stop buying Russian gas to save Ukraine but will keep directly funding the ethnic cleansing of Armenians in Karabakh to get (an insignificant percentage of) their oil. We’re supposed to take a hint that Armenian lives have less value, I guess.

Since the opposition has resorted to using our martyrs of the 44 Day War for emotional manipulation and vilification of the police, here’s a reminder that at least 3,000 police officers were sent to fight in that war. Think of that before you assault them with stones.

The timing of Pelosi’s trip, one month after her bold statement visit to Taiwan, makes this one of the most significant shows of support the U.S. could give Armenia right now. Putin is squirming in his seat right now. He was warned. Armenia is no colony.

I don’t recall the CSTO sending a fact-finding mission to Kazakhstan before swiftly intervening in domestic matters under blatantly false pretenses, Russian troops firing on Kazakh citizens. But of course, that was in service of Russia—the only member whose interests it serves.

The CSTO will respond to Armenia’s request for aid with a fact-finding mission and a working group, Ria reports. The mission will ‘assess the situation in the conflict zone’ and ‘develop proposals for de-escalating tensions’. 🔴 More:

Imagine having an Armenian last name and still using your platform to undermine the already-precarious existence of Armenians in Karabakh. The least you can do is not voice your opinions if you have no stake in this. Also, most Armenians use Artsakh/NK/Karabkh interchangeably.

In related news, on 27 June, Pashinyan held another live-streamed press conference, this time more controversial given that some media boycotted the event because it was not in person. Nevertheless, its occurrence was relevant in the context of Karabakh and Azerbaijan relations.

Major towns deep within #Armenia ’s sovereignty are currently under attack. Civilians’ lives are being uprooted in an undisputed, non-conflict zone by a neighboring post-Soviet dictatorship. This is a pivotal moment for the international community. How it acts now is critical.
