Second Armenian Genocide is Underway-Perpetrated by Turkey and Azerbaijan.

On 24 April 1915, approximately 250 leading intellectuals of Constantinople’s Armenian community (including political leaders, journalists, and religious leaders) were arrested by Turkish officials. They were then slain. This event marked the beginning of the 1915 Armenian genocide.

By 1923, Turkish deportation and annihilation policies resulted in the deaths of approximately 1.5 million Armenian men, women, and children in jihad genocide during which Armenians and other Christians were targeted mainly for their religion.

108 years later, Azerbaijan and its ally Turkey have committed the same crime against the Armenians in the Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).

Since 2020, around 120,000 Armenians in their ancestral homeland of Artsakh located in the South Caucasus were subjected to an aggressive war, siege starvation, bombardment, crimes against humanity, and a military invasion committed by Azerbaijan. Social media is filled with videos and photos of Armenian men and women that Muslim Azerbaijani soldiers beheaded or mutilated.

Just like Ottoman Turkey did in 1915, the government of Azerbaijan arrested the Armenian leaders of Artsakh following its September 19-20 bombardment and invasion of Artsakh.

The detained include:

Davit Babayan – former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Artsakh

Arkady Ghukasyan – former president of Artsakh Republic

Arayik Harutyunyan – former president of Artsakh Republic

Davit Ishkhanyan – chairman of the National Assembly of Artsakh Republic

Davit Manukyan – former deputy commander of the Artsakh Armed Forces, general

Levon Mnatsakanyan – former commander of the Defense Forces, general

Bako Sahakyan – former president of Artsakh Republic

Ruben Vardanyan – former State Minister of Artsakh Republic.

All former Artsakh presidents were elected by the people of Artsakh through a direct vote. The term “elected representatives of Nagorno Karabakh” is recorded in several documents of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

The democratically elected representatives of Artsakh were arbitrarily and illegally detained by the regime of Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev, who took over from his father in 2003.

Azerbaijan’s presidential elections, in comparison, are neither free nor fair. In 2013, for instance, Aliyev released election results before voting had even started....

A reason Turkey should never have been admitted to NATO.

Isn’t that how they did it here?

[ClearCase_guy]

For awhile after WWII the world seemed to have learned a thing or two. Bad stuff still happened, but not totally crazy stuff. But now Russia is expanding, people expect China to expand, the Middle East is seriously hot, genocide is back in fashion. I really think nukes will fly in the near future. People need to relearn the lessons.

[DIRTYSECRET]

The nukes-after the conventional warehouses run dry.

[fieldmarshaldj]

NATO should’ve been abolished in 1991.

[Boomer]

All planned by design. The question is who are the insane masterminds and who are pulling the strings of power?

[Blennos]

Muslims slaughtering infidels. Nothing new. 1500 years and counting.

I’ve been wondering if that’s true, seeing it comes from propaganda media.

All the while the US sends special forces and a carrier battle group to support the jews.

--- "Second Armenian Genocide is Underway-Perpetrated by Turkey and Azerbaijan."

You observe correctly. Turkey is a NATO member.

Since the various heated voices within Free Republic cheer NATO so easily, one need remember they act as our "ally."

Turkey joined NATO in 1952.

Christians -- and a small subset of Armenian Jews -- are most certainly affected. Islam -- Turkey and Azerbaijan -- is a substantive part of the whole hot mess.

It was a strategic, albeit uncomfortable, necessity at the time. Especially uncomfortable for the Greeks. Turkey covered the southern flank of the USSR, controlled the Dardanelles and access to the Mediterranean from the Black Sea, and had, man for man, a very serious military. Also, at the time Turkey was still working hard to be a secular state and hadn’t yet succumbed to the draw of theocratic government. Now they amount to a Muslim fifth column.

Besides refusing to land NATO aircraft during Second Gulf War? You might not have liked the war, but joining NATO entails responsibilities.

[Eleutheria5]

To the dismay of more than a few Israelis, too. No cries for “proportionality” here. Not even a provocation.

[rmlew]

There is no evidence of genocide so far. What we have is an illegal government in a breakaway province being arrested. Nagorno-Karabakh is legally part of Azerbaijan.
I fell bad for the Armenians. I suggested this be settled with local autonomy, and land and population swaps, 28 years ago at college. Sadly, Armenia took another route looking to Russia and Iran to help secure their gains in the first Karabakh war. The problem for them is that Azerbaijian got rich and worked with Western nations.
