Armenians, Assyrians, Cypriots, Artsakhtis, Kurds, Chaldeans, Copts, Yazidis, Arameans, Circassians....
I stand with you in solidarity. I see you. I hear you. I pray for better days.

I’ve been to 30 countries (7 new planned for this spring) - at 23 years old - & owe tens of thousands in college debt
We LOVE to see it!!!!
The Geneva Conventions ensure:
👉 Torture is illegal.
👉 The dead deserve dignity.
👉 Hospitals are not attacked.
👉 Sick and wounded are cared for.
👉 Detainees are treated humanely.
👉 Families know the fate of missing loved ones.
The Geneva Conventions preserve our humanity.
That awkward moment when it’s the other way around because Greeks been in Anatolia and y’all migrated, slaughtered, then took over. THE TIMELINE JUST DOESNT GO THIS WAY
Every Armenian business in LA should plan a day they all stay closed just so the locals see how much the community has built up that city. Stores, markets, gas stations, restaurants, hookah, bakeries.... let them be inconvenienced & see the impact Armenians have in their lives
Tel Aviv was sending Baku planes full of weapons this past week & Baku is cancelling major upcoming cultural events and festivities. This is the pretext to launching a war.

1) Teeth fall out when pregnant
2) Expensive, I have college debt
3) My aspirations to travel the world get deterred
4) Climate Change
5) School shootings (USA)
6) I’m selfish.. but at least I’m self-aware
7) I can barely remember to feed myself most days
My grandmother was robbed and beaten to near death. She’s in a coma and may not wake up. She got thru neurosurgery & facial reconstruction at Boston Medical Center. Please pray to whatever higher power you believe in so she can wake-up. I want to tell her I love her.
Armenian genocide is an absolute lie. During WW1, they allied with the enemy and killed Muslims to found their state. Yet, they lost the war and showed their casualties as genocide. If Turks are genociders, why didn't they kill local Greeks then?
LONG STORY SHORT: I will never stop fighting for the Armenian cause. I support recognition of the Armenian Genocide. I am
#ArtsakhStrong
. I will continue to teach my American peers about the tiny, wonderful country that stole my heart 🇦🇲
I’m NOT Armenian. Grew up not knowing a single Armenian. However, at age 12 I had a strong pull to the country’s culture & history. I taught myself the customs, Genocide, language all by myself. I flew to Yerevan solo at 19 years old to see Hayastan for myself.
Today we remember
- 1,500,000 Armenians
- 950,000 Greeks
- 750,000 Assyrians
That perished in a Genocide carried out by Ottoman Turks.
Keep in mind the Armenian population in Artsakh TODAY that is being starved out by Azerbaijan, the persecution & goal of elimination continues
That awkward moment when the Hadid sisters verbally & monetarily supported Azerbaijan’s ethnic cleansing of Armenians in Artsakh 2020 — who carried out their duties with Israeli weapons 🤡

@iamcardib
This is a thread about the Armenian Genocide committed by the Ottoman Empire, if you’d like to read about it to understand why there is a great upset over the comment “I like Ottoman History”
⬇️ I hope you find it informative! ☺️
The Armenian Genocide: April 24, 1915-1923. Referred to as “Medz Yeghern” (Great Crime) and “Aghed” (Catastrophe) in the Armenian language. 1.5 Million Armenians; 950,000 Greeks; and 750,000 Assyrians perished. All Christians from Asia Minor.
Disclaimer: I am not Armenian. I do not lie and say, nor do I claim, that I am of Armenian heritage. Years ago a friend once told me, “you’re not Armenian by blood, you’re Armenian by heart”
Armenian Teens are being beheaded ALIVE.
Elderly Armenians are being BEHEADED ALIVE.
Armenian Soldiers are BEING BEHEADED ALIVE.
Shall I post the proof? The photos? The videos? DO U BELIEVE ME NOW YOU SILENT USELESS WORLD CITIZENS!!!!
This is the script from my award-winning documentary from the state of Massachusetts. I won 6 rounds of judging. Bibliography was primary sourced and verified before receiving the trophy and cash prize. Included is a dialogue of an interview with a museum curator ⬇️
Tomorrow I’m doing a long thread about the Armenian Genocide, I’m sick of the denial and lack of recognition. It’s relevant today in regards to the Artsakh war.
I join the Armenian community in Minnesota and worldwide in mourning the lives lost. We must acknowledge today’s recognition wouldn’t be possible without the Armenian community fighting to honor those lives.
#ArmenianGenocide
Armenians are the Jack of all trades. Mechanic? Got one. Doctor? Yup. Lawyer? I know a guy. Taxes? Lemme hit my friend up. Customized artwork? Bet. Celeb connect? Lemme pull a few strings. New home? Ooo I got an agent. MUA? Nails? Catering? Yessss m’aam 😏

Azerbaijan launched a genocide and commit numerous war crimes in a pandemic, and got away with it. They won’t even be held responsible for all the destruction in Artsakh
"Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" - Adolf Hitler, 1939
"Our goal is the complete elimination of Armenians. You, Nazis, already eliminated the Jews in the 1930s and 40s, right? You should be able to understand us." - Mayor of Baku, 2005
@MurCellic
I’m afraid you lack reading comprehension. Those are two separate statements, based on the context clues you pointed out. Azerbaijan targeted school children in the morning, and also caused 49 Armenian military casualties the night before.
Thanks
@SirushoOfficial
for your song Qele Qele, because that’s what catapulted me, a non-Armenian, into becoming a person widely and openly accepted into the Armenian community of the USA & Hayastan itself.
I’ve dedicated all my academics to advocacy for Armenians and assisting in propelling Armenia in a positive direction. I’m giving the remainder of my life & career to a country & culture I’m no part of. All by choice.
I worked 2 jobs to save up money for this dream trip of mine. I saw Yerevan, Etchmiadzin, Jermuk, Tatev, Noravank, Gyumri, Yegheghnadzor, Goris, the entire Syunik Province, museums, monasteries, memorials.. you name it, I went there
Who gives a flying fck if recognizing the Armenian Genocide offends Turkey and they have a little hissy fit about it..
HOW BOUT THE GENOCIDE OFFENDS THE FALLEN, THE SURVIVORS, AND THEIR DESCENDANTS ffs
I knew so many facts! I breezed right through my presentations in front of the judges. I won 1st place in the state of Massachusetts. I got money, a trophy, and an award. But mostly, I got to shed light upon the event to people who had never heard of it.
I joined the Armenian Students Association (ASA) of my university. Made Armenian friends. Helped at the local Armenian church (meals & cleaning the khachkars). Attended Armenian language leasons. Organized annual Genocide commemoration events
I’m not Armenian for the millionth time. Yes hye chem. To clarify, I’m Italian (Neapolitan) and Algonquin (Mi’kmaq / Pequot). A sliver of Albanian (Arbëreshë) and Greek (Cretan), too.
🇮🇹🪶 🇦🇱🇬🇷
Beginning in 2008, I invested my energy into learning about a small country in the Caucasus I have never heard about before: The Republic of Armenia 🇦🇲 - I was in the 7th/8th grade. I’m now a senior in college.
Those dots in Kosovo are places massacres happened. Batajnice is where families were dumped into mass graves.
How did they transport the bodies?
Ice cream trucks.
Because they’re cold. They didn’t want to have the dead body smell bother them
My friend’s husband (I went to their wedding) unfollowed me on insta cause he’s “sick of the war posts” and “doesn’t like the gore”
& that folks is the most privileged thing to date. Sorry it inconveniences you, sir.
When I google’d Armenia, here’s what I noticed immediately: “Oh wow, their cuisine is similar to my own!” “What a unique alphabet this is” and most memorable, “....... oh my G- .. these pictures... what have the Ottomans done, & why didn’t I know this”
Follow me closely:
— 🇺🇸 grants 🇮🇱 $735 MILLION to be allocated for 💣
— 🇮🇱 tells 🇦🇿 this week they have FULL access to 🇮🇱 weaponry
— Biden waived Section 907 (sending military arms & aid to 🇦🇿)
🇦🇿 bought White Phosphorus, kamikaze drones, a missile defense system from 🇮🇱
LISTEN UP‼️
Donate to ArmeniaFund only. It’s a gov nonprofit directly to Armenia, receiving 100%. No more private Venmo’s, no more clothes/food drives, and no GoFundMe’s. Armenia has no warehouse storage and needs to allocate funds to specific areas.
The two shores of the Black Sea have never been closer.
I’m glad the 🇷🇴🇭🇺🇬🇪🇦🇿 energy agreement puts such a strong emphasis on renewables.
Now we build stronger electricity interconnections ↓
Want to know where I first heard the word “Armenia” ... watching Eurovision!! Their entry performed and being the nerd I always was, I said omg why have I never heard of this place... what IS Armenia. So I began my research
I appreciate all the LOVE and compliments I receive from Armenian-Americans. I’ve made great friends and feel welcomed by you all. Such a warm, kind-hearted group of people. Armenian hospitality is incomparable. Your encouraging words keep me going
Now I study International Relations & Diplomacy with an area focus on Eastern Europe. My minor is Russian. Every time we choose a topic for a class project or paper, I will ALWAYS relate it to Armenia to spread awareness & educate myself further in all areas
I liked Armenia lol. So I bought books and CDs to learn the language. I got a pen pal in Armenia. We exchanged info about our own cultures and mailed each other cute packages. I listened to Armenian music. I learned how to Armenian dance.
The theme was “Debate & Diplomacy in History” (2011) - PERFECT! The Armenian Genocide is debated worldwide (as is it’s recognition in most countries) and these people deserve JUSTICE. My topic was chosen.
Hometown friend saw the beef w Cardi B & read my thread on the Armenian Genocide. He then watched my IGTV Live on the 2020 Artsakh War. Sharing his beautiful response. 🇦🇲
The difference?
Armenian civilians & diaspora are pleading for peace and a respected ceasefire.
Azeri civilians are egging the war on on social media & justifying bombing.
The people I met in Artsakh 2018. Their hospitality is unmatched & their resilience is awe-inspiring. Their collective spirit was SO uplifting. They deserve better.
Then in summer 2016 I volunteered in the village of Gomk, Armenia of the Syunik Province. Lived with a host family. We did agricultural work. I extended my stay to tour the entire country. No better way to emerge myself than talking to locals and seeing for myself, right?
USA is such an awesome country 😍😍 We have race wars, daily mass shootings, the most expensive healthcare, unrealistic university costs, failing infrastructure, no public transport, we fund wars abroad, sky rocket rent, big pharma, $7.25 minimum wage, prison labor etc.
Returned and became Vice President of ASA. We invite guest speakers, such as Anna Astvatsaturova, to present at our university. I try my best! I’ve attended the Armenian Genocide march every year in April in Boston as well. I make signs for Greeks, Assyrians, and Armenians
During the
#ArmenianGenocide
Armenians were rounded up and sent on death marches with no food or water. They were walked in circles throughout the Syrian desert. If one were to fall, particularly the elderly or children, they were NOT ALLOWED to be helped up. They got left behind
