There are thousands of people who have been displaced from their ancestral home in #Artsakh . Those fleeing are doing so because they have been forced to. It’s up to all of us across the world to support these refugees by any means necessary. Going to be sharing 🔗 & ✅ here

This is a very old trope used to justify the killing of MENA peoples by the West. It’s called pinkwashing. Using queer rights & women’s rights as justifications for occupation and war. It’s inaccurate and in this case erases Palestinian queer people & feminists also under siege.

Genocide is not qualified by the number of people killed. The definition of genocide is about intent. And what separates genocide from war, is a substantial power imbalance. In Genocide, it is not two armies warring but a group with power with the intent to destroy based on race

Every single one of my family members on both sides of my family was massacred, or forcibly displaced. The government of Turkey says we don’t exist & if we do we were traitors to the state and deserved it. This is racism. This is erasure. The government tried to wipe us out.

Today marks the 73rd anniversary of the Nakba, or “catastrophe,” when over 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes in 1948. We must call this what it is, Genocide. Genocide is a structure not a one time event. And the #Nakba is ongoing as we see today. 1/

My dearest friends please stop scrolling & take a moment to learn about #HrantDink , an anti-racist activist & journalist who was assassinated in Istanbul 15 years ago today. He is often called the “Martin Luther King” of Turkey & his legacy continues to be criminalized & denied.

I am kind of astounded but more heartbroken. And just confused at how these clear Republic of Turkey talking points — for the US to “look in the mirror” or presenting our Armenian annihilation/indigenous erasure as fake as some cool “anti-imperialism” — could have slid by

As an Armenian whose entire family was “cleansed” out of Turkey, this is despicable. This is the language of ethnic cleansing.

Very fascinated by the U.S openly admitting yesterday that they are letting ethnic cleansing happen in Artsakh for the West’s oil.

If #ArmenianGenocide recognition is upon us—please center organizations, groups, organizers, artists & educators that brought us here. Too long have we had politicians of the US, & of Turkey dominate this news. It’s a story of a hundred year dispossessed community never giving up

If you are unaware a current day racial ideology called Pan-Turkism, birthed out of the Ottoman Empire that massacred 1.5 million Armenians and Assyrians especially the indigenous inhabitants of Anatolia whose descendants are alive & exiled across earth, is doing it again. Now.

The thing about when you destroy cultural and sacred sites is, that lives in peoples’ collective memory forever. Those are images and experiences that cannot be erased, through generations

Did BBC really create an “allegedly” headline for bombing?? What is BBC implying, that Armenians bombed themselves? Their own church?
