In 2020, Azerbaijan attacked Armenians living in the Republic of Artsakh, also known as the Nagorno Karabakh region between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Learn from our Armenian speakers, who share the current state Armenians and how it is affecting them.
"After the war they [Azerbaijan] blocked off the roads and this blockade has gone on for many many months now to a point where they’re not allowing any food or medicines to be entering the country and it's causing starvation - famine to a level of genocide."
"On our latest trip to that region in 2018, we met one of the Parliament members, Hovik."
"After the war, we were on a phone call with Hovik and Hovik said, 'This is my ancestral land, but I have to leave.' "
"Can you imagine getting forced out of your historical lands?!"
"Recently, the biggest flare up that has taken place is that, in 2020, Azerbaijan attacked the Armenians living in that region."
"The President of Armenia tried to strike a peace deal with them."
"Many of the churches have been destroyed. Many of the cemetery stones have been destroyed. Armenians right now are being closed off in that region... there's no food, no water..."
"A lot of the events we attend have to do with this subject."
"We are constantly fighting for not just recognition… we are moving to the next stage of reparations."
"This is our past, and we have to carry it into the future."
