Azerbaijan's Aggression Against Armenia Explained in Easy-To-Understand Terms

"Hey there Armen. Are you all right? I noticed a gap in stories on YouTube, and I hope that everything is well with you and your family," asked one of you in a message to Torque News today. I truly appreciate your concerns and wanted to inform you where I was in the past several years and why no videos. For nearly two weeks, civilians across Artsakh — an Armenian-populated region in the South Caucasus — have endured a relentless and deadly barrage of Azerbaijani rocket, artillery and drone attacks. Most recently, a cathedral in Artsakh, known internationally as Nagorno-Karabakh, has been twice attacked, injuring journalists who were inspecting the damage. What is so different and dangerous about this new attack is Turkey’s open and aggressive backing of it, emboldening Azerbaijan’s leaders and arming its military. Armenians believe this Turkish support combined with an international community distracted by the coronavirus and U.S. elections spurred Azerbaijan to launch attacks now. The conflict is threatening to boil into a regional war — if not a much larger one — if the United States and other world powers fail to intervene. Slightly larger than Rhode Island, Artsakh has been populated by Armenians for thousands of years. An early cradle of Christianity and home to holy sites from the 1st century, Artsakh today is a modern democracy and de facto state with its own president, legislature and self-defense force. It has been vying for self-determination since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. The Armenian-American community in the United States is organizing different gatherings and the 2nd one was in Washington, DC (after Los Angeles). Our soldiers are on the front lines risking their lives and many of them are making the ultimate sacrifice, so for me to come to DC and show up and show my support for them, it was a no-brainer. This map explains why #Turkey is aggressively supporting #Azerbaijan. Peoples in green countries are mostly Turkic. The people in orange countries are #Armenia|n. Pursuing a neo-#PanTurkism agenda (Google it), #Erdogan wishes to implement a centuries-long objective: culturally and politically unifying all Turkic peoples. The only “wedge" breaking the physical proximity is the Armenian people. Turkey, headed by Erdogan, will have unprecedented political and military influence if this agenda succeeds. The balance of power will shift globally. Assertions that what is happening today is a continuation of the Armenian Genocide must not be taken lightly. A century or two is a blink of the eye in terms of history, and political ideologies that defined 19/20th-century #OttomanEmpire/Turkey are very much relevant today. This is a call for all peoples and powers interested in #peace, #stability, and #humanrights to give a forceful and definite response to Turkey and Azerbaijan.
