7 Armenian hostages incarcerated in Baku are demanding to be immediately released. The fact that they are working together show the importance, the gravity of the case. It's a collective request. It's not just one single individual. the gravity increases dramatically the possibility that the Working Group pay a lot of attention to their claim.

Le problème des Arméniens n’est pas la « résilience démocratique » mais de pouvoir vivre sur leur terre sans être menacés par les Azéris.
L’UE doit exiger la restitution des territoires occupés par l'Azerbaïdjan et arrêter d'acheter à coups de milliards leur gaz !

Azerbaijan cut ties with the EU Parliament over criticism of its detention of Armenian hostages, destruction of Armenian heritage & violation of the rights of Artsakh's Armenians.
Azerbaijan doesn't want peace with Armenia – it wants to subdue Armenia.

Today, we recognize the #ArmenianGenocide—and are reminded of the Aliyev regime’s recent campaign of ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh. Our fact-finding report offers a comprehensive look into these abuses, and outlines ways to hold Azerbaijan accountable: freedomhouse.org/report/special…

Reminder that former Mayor Eric Adams took bribes from the Turkish government to deny the genocide. A new dawn in NYC.

Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let history repeat itself. In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had begun over 100 years prior. On this day of remembrance, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian people — and all people — to freedom, safety, and self-determination.

On this day in 1915, the genocide of over one million Armenians in the former Ottoman Empire began with the murder of Armenian intellectuals and community leaders.
This Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, I once again stand in solidarity with Armenian communities around the world and call upon our leaders to call this crime by its proper name.

The @LemkinInstitute commends @NYCMayor for his historical clarity regarding the Armenian genocide and ongoing threats to Armenians in the South Caucasus. This is what true leadership looks like.

Today, we remember the 1.5 million Armenians killed in the Armenian Genocide and reaffirm our commitment to truth, justice, and genocide prevention.
We remember the Armenian Genocide not only to honor the past, but to shape a more just future.

Today marks 111 years since the Ottoman Empire began the Armenian Genocide, systematically killing an estimated 1.5 million Armenians through massacres and death marches.
This legacy of denial and erasure continued in 2023, when Azerbaijan imposed a nine-month blockade on Artsakh, followed by a military assault that ethnically cleansed over 120,000 indigenous Armenians from their homes. Villages were emptied, churches desecrated, and families fled with nothing.

Demand your government recognize the 1915 Genocide, condemn the Artsakh ethnic cleansing, and press for the immediate release of all Armenian hostages. Silence enables repetition. #ArmenianGenocide #FreeArmenianHostages #NeverForget

On the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, California mourns the 1.5 million Armenians systematically massacred in 1915.
Armenians bravely forged ahead in the face of this unimaginable tragedy, seeking to build new lives across the world — including in California.
California is committed to the safety and well-being of this community and protecting all Californians from hateful acts and violence.
This Day of Remembrance, we continue to stand with and celebrate the Armenian people.

En ce 24 avril, la République commémore le génocide des Arméniens de 1915 et s'incline devant la mémoire des victimes.
C'est une occasion de se souvenir, de transmettre et de souligner le lien indissoluble qui unit la France à l'Arménie et les Français aux Arméniens.

CoHNA stands in solidarity with Armenian Americans & Canadians as the world commemorates 111 years of the brutal genocide of Armenian Christians under the Ottoman empire. If you are in Canada, make sure to attend a commemoration event (x.com/ancc_cnac/stat…) near you.
Last year, CoHNA's Quebec chapter organized a discussion of communities navigating the transgenerational trauma of brutal genocides. Watch this excerpt where @MtlShantk narrates his personal story of discovering what befell his own Armenian family.

After Azerbaijan gained control over Artsakh/ Nagorno-Karabakh, it has continued destroying Armenian churches and monuments—jewels of Armenian and Christian cultural heritage.
Imagine the loss to humanity if this continues.

On April 2, 2016, during Azerbaijan’s attack on Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijani soldiers executed elderly Armenian civilians Valera & Razmela Khalapyan in their home, then they cut off their ears. Azerbaijani soldiers also killed Valera’s mother, Marousya, who was 92 y.o.

My children only know this and the historical maps which include Armenia from Artsakh to Cilicia, where their roots extend. They will be educated about their true history and they will learn about their heroes. They often draw Mount Ararat while looking at the real thing.
