#nagorno karabakh

[oodlenoodleroodle]

Azerbaijan has blocked all the roads to Nagorno-Karabakh for over 7 months now. People are starving, not receiving the medical help they need, there's no fuel... It is a "silent genocide."

The article above doesn't explain why other countries aren't doing anything, but my local paper where I saw this news did, and it is a combination of the following things:

– Azerbaijan is allied with Turkey, which "Western" countries are trying not to annoy at the moment, because of the situation at the Black Sea being a bit delicate rn.

– Azerbaijan also has a lot of natural resources related to energy, which the EU is horny for.

– BP has also invested massively in Azerbaijan energy stuff, so Britain is also not gonna do anything to endanger all that money.

– Russia is busy with its war in Ukraine, so it is not doing its part in keeping the road open as agreed in the cease fire between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

oh, i cannot read the news without tears. my mother was forced to flee from karabakh when she was just fifteen. in a foreign land, without knowing the language, they mocked her for her poor accent, for her old, shabby clothes, for her poverty. her sorrow became a subject of ridicule. but she had no opportunity to receive an education and learn a new language because she was preoccupied with survival.

my mother had to care for her sick father and younger brother, help her mother find any kind of work. she would pick apples and sell them at the market. my mother would rise at five in the morning and labor tirelessly for years until the family managed to find their footing. she would alter old clothes when they became too short. my mother could go hungry for days so that her family could have something.

meanwhile, life went on around her. her peers dressed beautifully, went to dances, savored their youth. my mother had to swallow her pride to avoid losing her mind and fading away.

now she's over forty, she has her own family, but the pain still lingers. she is still frightened by the sounds of thunder, for they so closely resemble the sounds of gunfire. she shares stories from her childhood with bitterness, for in one day she had to grow up forever because of a bunch of bloodthirsty murderers. and now the story repeats itself. inside my mother, the child from karabakh is frightened once again.

my heart aches for all the families who were forced to leave their homes, who lost their loved ones, who became victims of someone else's play at being gods.

i pray for the enlightenment of minds. may the thirst for blood and power finally cease.

the most painful thing about artsakh to me is that my relatives had to emigrate from there in 1991, so it was 32 years ago. And today, once again, azerbaijan started shelling artsakh, while armenians in artsakh have been under blockade since december 2022

so. 32 years has passed and there's still war. this thought makes me want to cry. god, i wish people will learn to live in peace someday

2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War

Currently fighting for having the "Flight of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians" be added back to Wikipedia's In The News, after it got removed on claims of being "biased towards the Armenian viewpoint". This whole thing is a mess.

Ասա ինձ, երբ և որտեղ կգտնի հոգին իրենց քրոջը: Արցախից արյուն տեսանք. Հրազդան գետից խմեցինք. Ես քույր ունեի։ Նա կարող էր նետ արձակել և սպանել արևին: Աստվածները լաց էին լինում, երբ նա երգում էր նրա բանաստեղծությունները: Քույրս սիրում էր այս սարերը։ Բայց քույրս մահացել է։ Ոչինչ։ Ոչինչ։ Ոչինչ։ Tell me when and where shall the soul find its sister? We saw blood in Artsakh. We drank from the Hrazdan river. I had a sister. She could shoot an arrow and kill the sun. The gods wept when she sang her poems. My sister loved these mountains. But my sister is dead. Vo'chin'ch. Vo'chin'ch. Vo'chin'ch.

[painting by Jan Toorop, 1858]

note:

Of all the words that don't translate well into English, Vo'chin'ch (Ոչինչ) is my favorite. It literally means nothing but can also mean, "Whatever,” “Forget t said anything,” “It is what it is," or, "I hear you but I don't agree with you." In context here it is a term of grief: nothing.

[ID: Screenshot of an Instagram post by @/SeekWithSer. The location reads, “Haut-Karabagh.” The title reads, “WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THE ETHNIC ARMENIANS IN NAGORNO-KARABAKH IS A RESULT OF THE WEST'S APATHY TOWARD S.W.A.N.A REGIONS.” The users Substack article is mentioned at the bottom, titled “Uncomfortable Truth: Breaking the wall of silence, indifference, and apathy.”

Slide 2 reads: I'LL NEVER FORGET WHAT SOMEONE (A WHITE PERSON) SAID WHEN I MENTIONED THE 2020 WAR IN NAGORNO-KARABAKH.

"ISN'T THERE ALWAYS CHAOS IN THOSE AREAS? IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, THOSE PLACES ARE ALWAYS INFESTED WITH WAR AND DESTRUCTION."

This statement stuck with me because it represented the general apathy, indifference, and willful ignorance of the West toward countries we can't point to on the map whose names we can't pronounce.

And yet. AND YET. What we fail to realize (or conveniently ignore) is that our tax dollars are one of the most significant contributors to political and economic instability and PEACE in "those places."

Slide 3 reads: WHILE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT BANKROLLS GENOCIDES AGAINST WEST ASIAN MINORITIES, ETHNIC COMMUNITIES CONTINUE TO BE GASLIT AND TOLD TO BE GRATEFUL FOR U.S. INTERVENTION.

For example, Armenians are expected to be grateful to the U.S. recognition of the Armenian Genocide despite continuing to aid Azerbaijan in their genocidal efforts and ethnic cleansing of our ancestral lands.

For example, Afghans are expected to credit American soldiers for fighting terrorism in Afghanistan despite the U.S. playing a key role in the Taliban's rise.

IT IS ALL RELATED.

The more we see them as separate issues, the more divided we will become and the more power we hand over to imperialist agendas to continue pillaging ancestral lands and destabilizing SWANA communities.

Slide 4 reads: I'M NOT EXPECTING EVERYONE TO CARE ABOUT GLOBAL HUMAN RIGHTS. THAT IS YOUR PREROGATIVE.

BUT I WILL SPEAK ON BEHALF OF ALL SWANA COMMUNITIES THAT ARE HURT BY THEIR SO-CALLED ALLIES WHO WERE OUTRAGED OVER THE WAR IN UKRAINE BUT WHO CONTINUE TO TURN AWAY IN APATHY TOWARD THE PLIGHT OF THEIR COMMUNITIES.

Do they not deserve the same ounce of respect?

Have we collectively decided that their lives don't matter? Are they not worthy of the same rage and empathy that we've showed to our Eurocentric counterparts?

I IMPLORE us all to look at our hypocrisy. WE ARE COMPLICIT ABOUT THE SAME VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS THAT WE STAND AGAINST.

Slide 5 reads: ALLIES OF INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES NEED TO BREAK THEIR WALL OF SILENCE, INDIFFERENCE, AND APATHY.

WE NEED COLLECTIVE ACTION AGAINST THE DIRE CONSEQUENCES OF COLONIZATION AND INSTITUTIONALIZED TERRORISM NOW.

INDIGENOUS ARMENIANS OF ARTSAKH ARE BEING ETHNICALLY CLEANSED FROM THEIR ANCESTRAL LANDS AS YOU READ THIS AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ATTENTION AND AWARENESS OF THIS HUMANITARIAN CATASTROPHE.

IF THE VALUES OF INTERDEPENDENCE, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, AND ACCOUNTABILITY MEAN SOMETHING TO YOU, IGNORING THIS WOULD BE OUT OF INTEGRITY.

Slide 6 is a painting of an Armenian woman with tape across her mouth that reads “terrorist.” At the top, it reads: “seekwithser.substack.com.”

when people say "use your privilege" they don't mean use your privilege of distance to not speak on situations.

I'm seeing so many blogs not talk about the current attempts of Palestinian genocide (probably because they want to "keep their blog aesthetic") and I'm seeing barely anyone talk about the world wide rise in antisemitism or the current Armenian genocide

But I guess all that means for you is that pretty soon you might have to pretend to care about another ethnic group being wiped out* - must be hard /s

The more than 2,500-year-old Armenian presence in Artsakh was violently disrupted by a fascist country.

this is how Stepanakert, capital of Artsakh, looks right now. Bombing civilians is what the "restoration of the constitutional order" looks like for Aliyev? And the Armenian government chooses to do nothing and leave its people in danger
