STORIES OF ARTSAKHTSIS 🧵
Ամենաբարդը գաղթի ճանապահն էր, լքում էինք հայրենիքը, դա նույնն է, եթե բալիկիդ լքես. բռնի տեղահանված
The most difficult part was the migration, we were leaving the homeland, as if you leave your child, forcibly displaced

Screw bloodthirsty Turkey and Azerbaijan.
Screw Russia and their convenient excuses.
Screw the US, Europe, and others for their fake values, while standing by and watching genocide happen which conveniently coincides with their commercial and geopolitical interests.
But most…
Some "Ukrainian" pieces by Aivazovsky
1. Mt. Ararat. 1885.
2. Lake Sevan. Sunrise. 1869.
3. The Armenian Massacres at Trebizond. 1895-1897
4. Sanctification of the Foundation Stone by Gregory the Illuminator at the Etchmiadzin Cathedral. 1892
Devastating news coming from former Nagorno-Karabakh oblast today.
Military actions of Azerbaijan must be immediately halted to allow for a genuine dialogue between Baku and Karabakh Armenians.
Dream comes true! I visited the city of

, the heart of
#Karabakh
and the spiritual capital of🇦🇿people!This is both the first acquaintance with the great historical & cultural heritage of🇦🇿as well as large-scale reconstruction projects of liberated territories.

LETTER TO AUA

STUDENTS

Dear AUA community,
We’re disappointed in our university. You all act like nothing is happening; the university functions as if the families of your students aren’t facing genocide right now.…
Azerbaijan, blows up the only gas pipeline to Artsakh. Fires mortars at the civilians. Attempts to ethnically cleanse people.
How do western orgs react?
Send us stingers, ATGMs, MIG 29s?
Nope. We get a lecture about both sides should get along.
Why is everything so silent?
We're seeing very little comprehensive quality journalism on the hellish situation in Stepanakert prior to the exodus, compared with the stories I'm hearing from survivors directly. And I'm someone who makes an active effort to learn as much as…
Starting on January 12, 1990 in the Central Lenin Square of Baku, you could heart chants:
- "Hail heroes of Sumgait"
- "Death to Armenians", and
- "Long live Baku without Armenians".

The only dignified way I can spend this NYE is with my brothers and sisters from
#Artsakh
(
#NagornoKarabakh
) whose only road home is blocked by
#Azerbaijan
.
Together we will pay tribute to thousands of heroes who fell protecting the homeland.
1990: Jan 12-19, Armenians in Baku were subjected to centrally-planned genocide, including murder, rape, and torture. Hundreds died. 200K were expelled from their homes. Participants/planners rewarded by getting state jobs and elected to government.
Pashinyan's Armenia: "Bastion of Democracy" 🤮
Tatev "Artsakh" Virabyan, mother of 2 minor children and sister of war hero who died in the 44 day war was arrested over a Facebook post. She is being kept in pretrial detention despite her health issues, which manifested themselves…
I always felt this place pulling me in, but after spending a night on the grounds in 2012 (as I was hiking through majestic Karvachar) I feel like I was baptized anew.
All my children were baptized here.
We will not abandon

Question for everyone except vochkhars:
Let's say that your neighbor had an argument with you and has taken your children as hostages.
What is your next priority?
1. Get your kids back
2. Open a joint business with your neighbor

Congratulations to those who voted for Nikol Pashinyan, support him, or are just indifferent!
There are fireworks in Baku and Ankara in his honor. Start learning Turkish.
There are protests in Baku and these thugs are already being made heroes there. Will they eventually be released to Baku like Safarov.
These are the type of people who would volunteer to kill Armenians any chance they get.
Baku, Sumgait, Kirovabad didn't happen in a vacuum.
Azerbaijani savages who participated in the 44-day war against Artsakh, sentenced to 8 years in prison for illegal possession of weapons, + kidnapping and beating of an Armenian living in Spain.
The foreign-funded community in Armenia is going crazy about a recent article in US media that cites Prof. John Mearsheimer (if you don't know who he is, look him up) and quotes two Armenian-American scholars/experts.
And what is the main message of the article?
That the US…
Happy Independence Day Artsakh, my earth and water.
I will be protesting in Yerevan, but will be in Stepanakert in spirit marching with the rest of you.

Dear
@Garmin
please explain yourself.
#ArtsakhStrong
#RecognizeArtsakh
Not to single out Marut specifically, but I'm struck by large number of individuals, including those from Artsakh, who (pretend to) look to Russia as their savior (instead of Armenia) and try to criticize Putin's government for selling them out.
What is even more amazing is that…
'It wasn't we who refused Karabakh, it was Armenia who recognized that Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan. They actually did this on their own initiative, and they didn’t particularly inform us that they were going to make such a decision'.
Another lesson for those gullible enough to believe that Turkey's genocidal foreign policy could change simply because Armenia sent some rescue workers.
Turkey wants nothing but the complete extermination of Armenians from anywhere on the planet, including Armenia.
Five key Armenian ministries today:
- Defense
- Health
- Economy
- Foreign Affairs
- High Tech
ALL are run by non-professionals and/or non-experts.
Any doubts about the results we have today in all these spheres?
Vazgen Manukyan. A sensible interim PM choice for Armenia's opposition. A wise, anti-populist, victorious former PM and DM. Can be a unifying figure, largely not tainted by corruption allegations.
Follow the level of zeal and hate by Nikol cult members to gauge his potential.
Latest gem of wisdom from Pashinoglu:
"I have no doubt that we had, have, and forever will have a nation. ... But the question is will we have a state or no."
Good to know բո*ի տ*ա, thanks for your wisdom. Now if you don't mind, GTFO.
I am tired of losers and defeatists. I'm tired of Armenians who say that we should collectively become slaves again.
I'm tired of those who are still keeping their silence.
While Armenian officials are tripping over each other to tell us why we should not consider our neighbor as an enemy, Turkey's defense minister: "The Turkish fist has landed on the Armenian head"

Dear Artsakhtsis, here's a simple trick on how you can rent an apartment in Armenia at normal prices (or rent an apartment at all).
Have someone who can speak Russian without an accent call the phone numbers in the apartment listings and pretend to be from Moscow or Piter. Or…

Huseyn Akhundov, who crossed into Armenia, murdered an Armenian civilian, and recorded a video about "spilling Armenian blood" on his victim's phone is released to a hero's welcome in Azerbaijan.
Summary of my discussion w/Harvard grad and self-proclaimed militant supporter of Civic Contract (mainly Nikol Pashinyan).
ME: Why are they handing off parts of Shurnukh and other Armenian villages?
THEM: Stop lying, nothing like that is going on.

The Senate of Uruguay adopted a motion today on the situation of the Lachin corridor, condemning the blockade of

Nothing suspicious about selling a business worth $500K, that has generated $1.5M over the past 3 years, for $100 and the Prime Minister's brother becoming its director.

We don't deserve the patriotism of Artsakhtsis.
They withstood 9 months of blockade only to fight a debilitating war (with Armenia standing by and watching) to the last person, only to then be forced to leave but not bend the knee to those who murdered their loved ones.

Police unsuccessfully try to arrest a young lady for splashing her bottle of water on pro-Nikol MP Hovik Aghazaryan.
Parents of fallen soldiers have called on patriotic Armenians to come to the national assembly building.
Stepanakert was always a city with a distinct spirit. Just by being there, you felt immense patriotism and inner spiritual peace at the same time.
The city's outer cleanliness dictated a certain spiritual hygiene as well. Or maybe it was the opposite, the prevailing spirit of…
We should save these two photos of Stepanakert in our memories and feel ashamed for letting a charlatan fool us into believing that a "bright future" is waiting for us if we give up on our territory and sovereignty to the enemy.
I cannot believe that people can be fooled and…
Idea: This
#April24
, everyone commemorating the
#ArmenianGenocide
should be wearing the Artsakh flag as a reminder and warning of what might happen soon if Aliyev has his way.
I see this as a necessity.
Retweet if you agree.
Gabriel Aivazyan (Aivazovsky), brother of Hovhannes Ayvazyan (Ivan Aivazovsky), had important impact on the preservation of Armenian culture and history.

OK, just to reiterate, Azerbaijan arrested a completely different guy (Vagif Khachatryan) and accused him of being Samvel Babayan's driver.
Then, they let the real Samvel Babayan slip through? :)))))
If you believe that, then I got a mansion to sell you in Martakert.

Video of Sona from 2021

BREAKING: Again, for those who have difficulty understanding what happened over the last year.
Pashinyan gave Russia (and everyone) an easy way out of a headache. He thinks he'll get out of this easily too by spreading the blame.
But, Armenians have no one else to blame but…
Does he realize how ridiculous and ironic he sounds?
The guy before the war probably couldn't even locate Armenia on a map is shaming an Armenian who has been covering Armenian communities (including Artsakh) for more than a decade!
Now that's what I call gall.
Our entire world got turned upside down with the 44 day
#Artsakh
war in 2020, as the right to live as an
#Armenian
was once again challenged.
For many who survived, the meaning of life was also redefined.
We will avenge our heroes!
We will punish traitors!
We will rebuild!
Nightmare scenario:
Pashinyan declares martial law, not for mobilization or war but to prevent his impeachment. Invites CSTO to maintain internal order in Yerevan.
He must be removed ASAP.
If you're a Diaspora Armenian planning a visit to Armenia, you really should plan a trip to Artsakh as well.
Yes, it requires paperwork (for non-citizens) but it is beautiful land and the minimum you can do to help your brothers and sisters there.
Congratulations to President
@RTErdogan
on his re-election. Looking forward to continuing working together towards full normalisation of relations between our countries.
