I am whole-heartedly in favor of Ukraine and its war for its sovereignty. It is depressing that the MFA of Ukraine makes statements in favor of #Azerbaijan as the latter starves Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. Ukrainians have been in their area for centuries; Armenians have been in NK for 2500 years. You should be our supporters!

"Armenia says Azerbaijan mobilizing troops in border regions

#Armenia claimed #Azerbaijan will soon engage in a fresh "military provocation." The announcement came as Armenia seeks greater security coordination with the US and drifts away from its traditional ally Russia. "

Four Armenian soldiers— Andranik Antonyan, Arsen Mkrtichyan, Vachagan Vardanya, & Narek Poghosyan—were killed a few hours ago in #Azerbaijan’s aggression on sovereign Armenian territory - Armenia itself.

The Biden administration's policy in this part of the former Soviet Union has, in contrast to Ukraine, been a near-complete disaster. Its ineffective calls to open the corridor have been answered by #Azerbaijan's open contempt of whatever the US says. #NagornoKarabakh

A este alto funcionario de la Comisión europea se le están echando encima por recomendar el turismo en un país criticado por su falta de respeto a los DDHH.
Es absurdo.
Nadie en Europa aplica eso mismo a Maldivas, a Cuba, a la España de la dictadura, al turismo en Vietnam...

Another very timely&amp;important piece by @mrubin1971 on the genocidal policy of #Azerbaijan against the Armenians in #NagornoKarabakh/#Artsakh and what the US @POTUS could do to prevent the worst from happening. The time to act is getting less&amp;less!

A grim outlook, certainly by 2025 when Russia's peacekeeping mandate ends. Meanwhile Azerbaijan dismisses all concerns for Karabakh Armenian autonomy and wellbeing as internal issues.

The confusion of victory and justice. A common enough problem. #Armenia #Azerbaijan

Imagine reeling from a war, losing countless lives, and being uprooted from your homes — just so #Azerbaijan can come back and try to blockade and starve you into submission. This is reality for 120,000 people right now in Artsakh.
