also in the same vein as "talking about wanting all men dead is going to be disturbing for marginalized men/people who were amab"... i have no qualms w anyone complaining abt christians. ESPECIALLY western christians. but as someone who has a personal relationship w the 1918 armenian/assyrian genocides, seeing people talk about hunting christians for sport is never not going to upset me on some level. like dont get me wrong, western christians are NOT oppressed, and my pain is not for them. its for the marginalized christians right now who are being actively oppressed and kept from their indigenous lands and murdered and deprived of their human rights. there are people who very much want to continue those genocides right now. so like. idk just keep in mind that there are people at this moment who's families/ancestors actually face/d horrific violence in relation to being christian + they may be justifiably unnerved by people talking about hunting christians for sport! esp when azerbaijan literally had a museum depicting dead wax armenian soldiers specifically designed to be "ugly" ethnic stereotypes. also please pay attention to artsakh and donate if you can, it's being blockaded & there are food & medical shortages

#again im not saying ''dont talk shit abt christians'' #just keep in mind that like. ppl whos families survived these genocides exist #people have lost loved ones in the modern day bc of this! armenophobia is alive and well! #assyrians were promised a country of their own by the british & were never given one & are being driven out of their indigenous lands! #non-western christianity is very complex esp when it comes to indigenous christian groups #& in countries where christians are not the ones with the most power #m. #genocide tw #armenophobia

1909 Adana massacre

The Adana massacre (Armenian: Ադանայի կոտորած, Turkish: Adana Katliamı) occurred in the Adana Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire in April 1909. A massacre of Armenian Christians by Ottoman Muslims in the city of Adana amidst the Ottoman countercoup of 1909 expanded to a series of anti-Armenian pogroms throughout the province.[4] Around 20,000 to 25,000 people were killed in Adana and surrounding towns, mostly Armenians;[5] it was reported that about 1,300 Assyrians were also killed during the massacres.

armenia's been at a disadvantage b/c it's not 'marketable' enough for the west. it's not a big country. there's no abundance of tech or oil for it to leverage globally. its people already faced genocide before, alongside greeks and assyrians, leaving 1.5m people dead. armenia has 0 incentive to instigate anything. in just 2004, azerbaijan celebrated a man who murdered an armenian in his sleep with an axe in hungary, at NATO's ""Partnership for Peace"" program. idk what more we can say to convince people to believe us, that turkey and azerbaijan are 2 very real threats, whose dictators will continue to perpetuate and act upon armenophobia and pan-turkism. idk what more we can say to stop the hand-wringing and the both-siding and the sniveling "stop the hate :((" rhetoric. it's exhausting. we're tired.

#artsakh #genocide #i'm just venting. #i'm disappointed in journalism and i'm disappointed in politicians and i'm disappointed that the most anyone in power has done #against turkey and azerbaijan #were just mealy-mouthed condemnations #like ok. great. nice. cool. #like just take some time to scroll twt. granted the most bottom of the barrel discourse is there anyway #but you'll see how many actually-not-a-bot turks and azeris are sitting at their keyboards #frothing over killing armenians #oh also fuck russia.

[blastdamage]

its so crazy that aliyev (the president of azerbaijan) is like "oh dont worry about us taking over artsakh like a bunch of genocidal monsters, were gonna treat armenians just fine" Dude. armenians would be brutalized on a daily basis in azerbaijan even if it werent for its state-sanctioned armenophobia because not even azerbaijanis are treated humanely in their own country because it is an authoritarian dictatorship ruled by a tyrant.

#this fascist cunts been president for 20 years can someone please kill him already

I don’t think ppl in the west get how widespread Armenophobia is in Türkiye/Azerbaijan. It’s not a small fringe thing. Like, the vast majority of people in Az hate Armenians. There’s a museum in Baku celebrating the death of Armenians. It’s engrained into the culture.

‘The end of Nagorno-Karabakh as we knew it’

On October 2, Azerbaijan’s presidential office presented its reintegration plan for Nagorno-Karabakh’s ethnic Armenians. But according to the U.N. mission’s report, this population has dwindled to “between 50 and 1,000” people. 

“I think there’s little doubt that we have seen the end of Nagorno-Karabakh as we knew it,” said Laurence Broers, an associate fellow at Chatham House, in an interview with Meduza. “The question now is whether there will be any Armenian presence left in the territory at all.”

Several international experts have suggested that the exodus of Karabakh Armenians constitutes the war crime of “deportation or forcible transfer” or even a crime against humanity. However, Azerbaijani officials have rejected any and all such accusations. 

“We cannot accept accusations of ethnic cleansing or genocide,” Hikmet Hajiyev, a diplomatic advisor to Azerbaijan’s president, told AFP. “We opened the gate and respected their [civilians’] freedom of movement, freedom of choice.”

“Azerbaijan emphasizes that it is a civic nation, a multicultural nation that has cordial relations with different ethnic and religious minorities. But I think it’s a stretch to imagine that Karabakh Armenians could feel safe,” Broers told Meduza. “There is a very distinct and specific history the Karabakh Armenians have been through. And that’s why we have this discussion about security guarantees.”

According to Azerbaijan’s reintegration plan, Baku pledges to ensure the rights and security of Karabakh Armenians who accept Azerbaijani citizenship. But after years of official rhetoric propagating dehumanizing stereotypes and hatred, experts remain skeptical. 

“Armenophobia legitimized Aliyev’s regime for decades because the image of the external enemy is what creates unity and neutralizes [internal] contradictions,” said Bahruz Samadov, an Azerbaijani political activist and doctoral candidate at Charles University in Prague. 

“Peaceful coexistence can only be possible if this deep hatred is changed, but I don’t think official discourse needs this,” he continued. “In Azerbaijan, nationalism is the basis of the regime’s legitimacy.” 

“They could not force us to live there,” said Larisa. “It would have been inhuman.”

Azerbaijan Desecrates Armenia’s Christian Cultural And Religious Heritage

Azerbaijan Desecrates Armenia’s Christian Cultural And Religious Heritage

“The erasure of the Armenian cultural heritage is part of a wider pattern of a systematic, state-level policy of Armenophobia,” says the European Parliament. It’s a small favor that they said anything at all about this, but this is a characteristically silly statement from the Eurocrats. Armenophobia? The Azeris don’t hate the Armenians because they’re Armenians. They hate them because they’re…

Hey. I saw your post calling out Armenophobia, (especially regarding recent developments in Artsakh), Anti-Assyrian bigotry and genocide denialism.

I personally think more countries and the media in general should be giving Azerbaijan no end of hell for their bullshit. I mean they’ve been doing it to Russia for their recent fuckery in Ukraine (putin’s latest blood soaked vanity project), so why shouldn’t they hold Azerbaijan accountable? I seriously think they should. Not saying anybody isn’t, but that it should be made much more visible. Same for Turkey’s fuckery in Syria with the Assyrians and Kurds. Sorry, went on a ramble. What I’m saying is I agree with you. Idk what else to say for now…I just set my account up the other day.

I’m not Armenian or Assyrian myself (I’m Irish (from the northern but still stuck under the British)), I just don’t like seeing smaller countries and unrepresented peoples and nations being bullied by larger rogue states is all. I’m sure you’ll agree.

Right?

Oh absolutely. I can't let myself think about how ignored Assyria and Armenia are for too long or I start getting really angry but god yeah. I see Kurdistan brought up on occasion, but virtually never hear about Armenia, Artsakh, or Assyria unless its Assyrians and Armenians talking about it. The only times you hear about it are when Western Christians are using them as puppets to justify their own insane victim complexes, as if indigenous Christians that have been subject to genocide and land theft are equivalent to white Christians living in predominantly Christian countries that appeal to Western Christianity constantly. There's also the fact that Rojava also has issues with poor treatment of Assyrians, but western leftists never talk about that when they do bring up Kurdistan.

Artsakh is going through hell and has been, Western Armenia is still under Turkey's control and people constantly refer to it as Turkey, Assyrians are being driven out of their indigenous lands through violence and poverty (and were also promised their own country by the British, which they were never given because of fucking course), and its never talked about by western leftists. The same goes for other marginalized groups in West Asia like Ezidis.

Like Azerbaijan literally set up a fucking wax museum to show off racist depictions of Armenians and encourage children to pretend to kill them, is literally starving Artsakh right now, not to mention all their acts of horrific violence. And yet you don't hear any sort of widespread outcry against Azerbaijan. Because I guess it wouldn't be beneficial enough for the US to make a big deal out of it.

Anyways time to plug some places you can donate to Assyrians, Armenians and Artsakh:

Assyrian Aid Society of America

Shlama Foundation

Armenia Fund

Armenian General Benevolent Union

The Artsakh Relocation Project

Post on different ways to donate to Artsakh + photos

Also: book pdfs on the Armenian Genocide, the Assyrian Policy Institute pdfs on the Assyrian Genocide, and the Greek Genocide Resource Center

Three Artsakh policemen killed, one wounded in the attack carried out yesterday by an Azeri diversion group. Artsakh forces fought back, killing and wounding several attackers.

Artsakh Resident said today Baku demanded integration of Artsakh into Azerbaijan and threatened that otherwise the blockade would continue and "drastic measures" would be taken.

The fascist regime continues its genocidal war against Armenians.

Even the variant of Armenophobia expressed on the front page of Social-Demokraten, 30 April 1909, seems to have been an early example of a racist negative stereotype-made-‘scientific’ that was at least partly influenced by a certain branch of Marxist thinking--the widespread variant of the comprador or ‘middleman’ thesis which tends to brand groups like Jews, Greeks, and Armenians as unscrupulous, provocative, parasitic, bourgeois categories of people who allegedly act as agents of international capitalism and imperialism, thus preventing (a certain ‘progressive’) economic development from taking place in, for instance, the Ottoman Empire. In a background article on Turkey, the Motley Empire, Armenians and other Ottoman Christian ‘races’ were once again designated as cold, calculating, dishonest business-minded people, this time with the twist that they belonged to an economic class who exploited what as described as the ‘honest’ and ‘easygoing’ Turks.

What kind of an asshole one should be to bake this kind of cake on a birthday. When we say Armenophobia in Azerbaijan is everywhere, that is not what we would like to invent. Celebrations of deaths of Armenian people are becoming a tradition. What a disgrace and a shame!
