Karnig Kerkonian writes: 'Disaster is looming in Artsakh — and Armenia. The world's democracies should make their voices heard — on behalf of one of their own, now in desperately dire straits.'
Russian President Vladimir Putin, center, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, left, and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan attend a news conference during their meeting in Sochi, Russia, on Nov. 26, 2021. A senior U.N. official urged the international community to prevent Armenia and Azerbaijan from resuming their conflict over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region.
At the moment, 120,000 besieged Armenians in the enclave, also known as Artsakh, have been cut off from food and medicine. Schools, kindergartens and hospitals went without heating gas for days at the height of winter. One patient has already died due to complications from the blockade, and an Armenian child in critical condition is unable to get to the Armenian capital of Yerevan for lifesaving treatment.
Azerbaijan’s current phase of the campaign dates to the late 1980s when it massacred Armenians in Sumgait, Kirovabad and other towns in response to peaceful democratic demonstrations in Artsakh calling for unification with Armenia.
Among the transparently fake “environmentalists” enforcing the blockade are Azerbaijani military personnel, such as Telman Gasimov, who proudlyhe took with Ramil Safarov, an Azerbaijani military officer who hacked an Armenian student to death in Budapest. Convicted of murder, Safarov was extradited to Baku, where, instead of serving his sentence, he was given a hero’s welcome by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.
