So you acknowledge that Azerbaijan began bombing Armenia but you're calling on both sides to find a resolution… the resolution is Azerbaijan stays within its fucking borders and stops killing Armenians. THAT IS IT. Stop this “both sides” bullshit. Enough is enough.

Turkish wealth was built by confiscating Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek assets after those people were killed and the few survivors expelled. An example: the Turkish presidential palace from 1923-2014 was an Armenian home and it currently serves as the home of the Turkish VP.

No. The Blue Mosque was built by the Khan of Erivan (a relative and vassal of the Shah of Iran). It’s built in typical Iranian/Persian architecture, and while most of its parishioners were Shia Turks, it’s not “Azerbaijani.” And the *Soviets* destroyed the others mosques.

@VanetziMariam The exiled Armenians were given the opportunity to return and make claims for their properties or compensation within one year. After the war, hundreds of thousands of Armenians returned and benefited from the law, then most of them went to other countries.

Interesting facts: when war broke out in Nagorno Karabakh it was 77% Armenian and 22% Azerbaijani. When war broke out in Cyprus it was 78% Greek and 18% Turkish. Yet, somehow Turkey claims that Cypriot Turks have the right to self-determination, but Artsakh Armenians don’t. 🤯

103 years ago, between March 22-24, 1920 Azerbaijani forces destroyed Shushi, the historical capital of Artsakh. Some 7,000 structures were destroyed and upwards of 20,000 Armenians were slaughtered in this act of genocidal violence that remains denied by Azerbaijan’s government.

I got my hands on the 1921 census of the Nagorno Karabakh Autonomous Oblast. This was the year Artsakh was made a part of Soviet Azerbaijan. It’s a year after the March 1920 Shushi Massacre. Read the footnotes.

Azerbaijanis had a barbecue dance party while blocking aid trucks from entering Artsakh. The blockade began on 12/12/2022 and ended on 09/24/2023 with the expulsion of the entire local Armenian population after a bombardment of the region on September 19-20 by Azerbaijani forces.

For me, this will be one of the defining images of the genocide. Israelis blocking trucks from being loaded with aid for Gaza. Look at their hands outstretched, smiles on their faces, imagining themselves at the forefront of a glorious movement to starve people to death.

First of all the Cathedral has a name, it’s that of the Holy Savior or Ghazanchetsots. It’s an Armenian Cathedral that for over 2 centuries has served as the Seat of the Archbishop of Artsakh. The #Azerbaijani |s burned it in 1905, 1920, and 1988 - it was bombed twice in 2020.

Once again, they prove their lack of humanity. The reference is to the Turkish army’s burning of Smyrna (modern-day Izmir), which left 10,000-125,000 Greeks (and Armenians) dead and forced 80,000-400,000 Greeks (and Armenians) to flee across the Aegean Sea to mainland Greece.
