a poem by Najwan Darwish, a Palestinian poet 🇦🇲🤍🇵🇸

"They tell us they're infidels because they're not Muslims." I interviewed people in Turkey and Azerbaijan about being raised to believe that the Armenian genocide never happened. Some changed their opinions as they got older and wiser. Some didn't.

5 months after a ceasefire was signed, Azerbaijan's dictator, Aliyev, still wears fatigues and is pictured below inspecting caricature models he had made of Armenian servicemen like he's at "Madame Tussauds: War Criminal Edition." Armenians are still in captivity in Azerbaijan.

my Armenian car mechanic (who was a biochemist in Turkey before moving to the states) told me this 6 months ago. no joke.

An Armenian Genocide memorial in France was vandalized by Turkish nationalists today. Turkey & Az. have made genocide denial state policy, institutionalizing anti-Armenian hatred. What they inflict on #Artsakh today is a product of that - and of the intl. community’s silence.

Do you know why I personally demand to stop wars? -Grew up without father killed in 1993; -Lost my eyesight in 1995; -See tragedies around me; -See kids orphaned like me; -Sure that noone benefits from human blood except for dictators; -SURE THAT EVERYONE DESERVES #PEACE.

So NATO supports terrorism. What kind of world are we living in that known war criminals are being celebrated??? #RecognizeArtsakh #SanctionTurkey @realDonaldTrump

This guy is SO incredibly dangerous & completely unhinged & unchecked. This type of rhetoric only fuels religious fanaticism, polarization & violence - something he knows he’s guilty of pursuing (killing Kurds in Iraq & Syria, sending foreign fighters to kill Armenians, etc)

There is no #Armenia without #Artsakh and so, protecting the rights of the people of Artsakh means protecting the rights of the #Armenian people. And today, this means taking up arms and fighting for these rights.

As agreed in Washington DC, with US mediation, the Armenian side will fully maintain the ceasefire starting from 8 a.m. @realDonaldTrump

Azerbaijan has repeatedly used widely banned cluster munitions in residential areas in Nagorno-Karabakh. During an on-site investigation, Human Rights Watch documented four incidents in which Azerbaijan had used cluster munitions. Daily Brief: https://t.co/MUVvO4OfeV
