I don& #39;t often post calls to action on here but I urge you all to pay attention to what& #39;s happening in Armenia right now: Turkey & Azerbaijan are threatening to "finish what they started in 1915" after 100+ years of genocide denial.
This conflict has been simmering since July and came to a head about 3 weeks ago as Azerbaijan attacked the Artsakh region. All I ask is that you simply be aware of what America& #39;s role is in all of this, supplying weapons and aid to Turkey and Azerbaijan first and foremost.
If you& #39;re not aware of the fact that two countries, supported by a a near-fascist regime, are trying to finish a genocide, then by God you need to take a look at what& #39;s happening in the Middle East right now.
I don& #39;t say any of this lightly. It& #39;s been weighing on me for the last few weeks because as part of the Armenian Diaspora, this may mean the end of my family& #39;s roots and culture. It& #39;s absolutely heartbreaking.
I& #39;ve seen so many calls to action for voting, specifically. The fight for fairness and equality isn& #39;t over by a long shot. Talking about multiple causes isn& #39;t going to take legitimacy away from any of them.
I& #39;m going to update this thread with resources and such but again, please pay attention. Be aware of the media you consume and who it& #39;s benefiting. DMs are open if you want to reach out, know more, or commiserate.
