Today I joined my friend @repdinatitus in introducing the #Azerbaijan Sanction Review Act, which goes after 44 Azerbaijani officials directly responsible for the ethnic cleansing of #Artsakh’s Armenian population this Sept. We will not let the people of Artsakh be forgotten.
I just introduced the Azerbaijan Sanctions Review Act to take action against 44 Azerbaijani officials following the ethnic cleansing of Armenians from Artsakh and the violent repression of political opposition. The U.S. must take a strong stand against the genocide of Armenians.

In 1997-1999 Heydar Aliyev destroyed most Armenian/Christian monuments in Nakhichevan, except Djulfa & lesser known sites (his son Ilham would finish the job in 2005-06). Shortly after US Ambassador @carey_cavanaugh gave Heydar a piece of a mosque under Armenian control, & more.
Do I have enough books to read for fun before my summer defense, @SopheneBooks?
Lying about the heritage of these churches is part of the process of destroying them. It's about claiming ownership and starting the process of rewriting history before the structures are demolished.

In 2021 Azerbaijan's state-handled Christian religious leaders, joined by Sheikh ul-Islam, visited St. John the Baptist (Kanach Zham), built by Armenians in 1847, proclaimed it "Russian," prayed there, then praised Aliyev's tolerance. 2.5 years later Aliyev destroyed the church.
“A picture of a prayer session inside St. John the Baptist in Nagorno-Karabakh was [tweeted] by [an] Azerbaijani parliament member… in 2021 [as] an ‘atmosphere of ethnic & religious tolerance’… Today that church, built by Armenians… no longer exists.” rferl.org/a/azerbaijan-a…
Over a century later, we see the ethnic cleansing of Armenians continuing in Nagorno-Karabakh – a reminder that this fight is still not over. I am proud to be a cosponsor of the Armenian Genocide Education Act, so that future generations may learn from this tragedy.

This is what ethnic cleansing looks like in the 21st century — massive arteries of traffic, every vehicle packed with families fleeing an unfathomable future, swiftly draining away the lifeblood of an historic land. By midnight (29.9) 100,000+ will have departed Nagorno-#Karabakh

“Can you call the philosophy department and tell them I’ve been arrested?” is an all-time quote.
WATCH: Among those arrested today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet. This video provided to us by an #Emory PHD student. You can hear him in this video. @ATLNewsFirst
It's hard to understand why an economics professor showing concern for a student would be thrown to the ground and arrested. This is not an obvious way to defuse a crisis.
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

Whether I was living in Beirut, Montreal or Boston, my family and I have always joined with other Armenians throughout the world in marking Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day on April 24. Today, the 109th anniversary of 1.5 million Armenians being driven from their homes and…
This #ArmenianGenocideRemembranceDay we must commit to making sure it never happens again. It's easy to say that but last year 120,000 Armenian Christians were displaced from their ancestral homeland by Azerbaijan aggression. Our promise to remember can't be empty words.
Last year, we paid tribute to the victims of the Armenian Genocide during the #Artsakhblockade. This year, as we, Artsakhi people expelled from our homeland, the pain cuts deeper

I am deeply shocked to hear of my friend Ruben Vardanyan's hunger strike. The world is paying too little attention to the conduct of Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh.
“Since April 2 we had not heard his voice… Tragically, we found out he had been on a hunger strike since April 5”. After Azerbaijan took over Nagorno-Karabakh, fmr. leader Ruben Vardanyan was arrested on terrorism charges and his son David alleges “a complete lack of…
