ARMENIAN JERUSALEM. The existential threat against the
#Armenian
Quarter of
#Jerusalem
cannot be underestimated. The physical presence and security of the Armenian Quarter and the Armenian

presence in the Old City are in grave risk.
Here, the Foreign Ministry of

@AymanHsafadi

#IISSMD23
, today:
- Israel is taking 2.3 million Palestinians hostage in the process, by denying them food and water, and by this war.
- Yes to the release of hostages but NO to linking humanitarian pauses to the release of hostages.

#Newsweek
publishes human rights lawyer Thomas Becker’s (
@mrtommybecker
) eye-opening piece on Azerbaijan’s genocide of
#Armenians
in
#NagornoKarabakh
(
#Artsakh
). It is a powerful read 👉🏽
Azerbaijan's blockade of the Lachin Corridor is bringing
#Armenians
in Nagorno-Karabakh (
#Artsakh
) one step closer to
#genocide
. Will the world intervene?

AGREED. That this statement is necessary—and it is indeed necessary—demonstrates how effectively
#Europe
manipulates the discourse in
#Armenia
to steer Yerevan away from
#selfdetermination
. Subjugation and ethnic cleansing are not sustainable outcomes.

BREAKING: All political factions of Artsakh’s Parliament have released a joint statement calling on the Armenian authorities to not call into question the Republic of Artsakh’s people's right to self-determination.
The statement also states that the Artsakh conflict should be

GENERATION VAPID. Aliyev has hollowed his own society to the core. He has cultivated human depravity and destruction at every turn. Azerbaijan will ultimately collapse from the emptiness within.
An Azerbaijani road worker in Martakert smashes Armenian cars with an axe and inspects one to steal.
But Azerbaijan insists it wants Armenians to return to Nagorno-Karabakh, and says their property is safe!

I have never allowed
