Will Biden heed this call? Not likely. He is far too beholden to Islamic interests in the U.S. to speak out too strongly against an Islamic jihad operation. Armenia is all that is standing in the way of a Greater Turkestan stretching from Asia Minor deep into Central Asia.
“Open letter to President Biden: Stop the second Armenian genocide,” by Uzay Bulut, Christian Post, February 7, 2023:
The Armenian genocide was committed in 1915 by Ottoman Turkey. Around 1.5 million Armenians perished in the genocide. One hundred and eight years later, the world is witnessing a second Armenian genocide, and tragically no one is taking action to stop it.
The victims are the indigenous Armenian Christians of the landlocked Armenian Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh (also known as Artsakh) in the South Caucasus. The perpetrator is the government of Azerbaijan.
Since December 12, 120,000 Armenians living in Artsakh have been held hostage by the Azeri government within the borders of their ancestral land. The only road connecting Artsakh with the outside world (the Lachin Corridor) has remained blocked by Azerbaijan’s orchestration. The Azeri government has created a humanitarian disaster through so-called “eco-activists” and this crisis will soon reach a critical point.
Media coverage has been scarce. Diplomatic responses from the world have been weak and ineffective.
On January 25, the Philos Project, an organization devoted to supporting indigenous Christian communities in the Near East, issued an open letter to President Joe Biden. The letter called on him to “avert a second Armenian genocide by taking decisive action now.”
“The lives of 120,000 Armenians and nearly 1,700 years of Christian culture hang in the balance,” wrote Robert Nicholson, President of The Philos Project.
Among this number are 30,000 children who remain deprived of daily nutrition and medical supplies. Hospitalized patients on life-support are struggling. Furthermore, all educational institutions have been shut down due to a lack of resources.
All supplies are now rationed, including critical medical and food sources. Sporadic gas, electricity, and internet connections keep the population frozen, hungry, and isolated. People are placed under severe psychological oppression.
As a result of Azerbaijan’s illegal blockade and its deliberate disruption of critical infrastructure of this Armenian republic, the people’s right to adequate livelihoods such as heating, hot water, and food production and access to food and medical supplies, as well as their right to healthcare and education have been systematically violated by Azerbaijan. According to the 7th article of the Statute of the International Criminal Court, “Extermination includes the intentional infliction of conditions of life, inter alia the deprivation of access to food and medicine, calculated to bring about the destruction of part of a population.” That is exactly what Azerbaijan is doing to the people of Artsakh — extermination through the deprivation of food and medicine….

It will be interesting to see if there is any response from the administration to the crisis in Artsakh.
I’m not happy with a lot of what President Biden has done—or not done, but I will give him credit for being the first president to officially recognize the Armenian/Greek/Assyrian genocide.
And I wonder if the earthquake will have any effect on the situation in Artsakh, and the political situation for Erdogan. Have been reading that citizens have been angry over the way the government has responded.

Israel, along with America and Russia, is able to stop Azerbaijan’s crimes against the Armenians if it so desires, given that Israel is a major ally of the State of Azerbaijan, and therefore it has great influence and influence on Azerbaijan.
