Armenians Facing Another Genocide?

Armenians Flee Nagorno-Karabakh
The attack on Israel by Hamas on Oct. 07, 2023 ignited a full-scale war between Israel and the terrorist group that has held Gaza in an iron grip for over 15 years.  However, we must be reminded that there are other conflicts raging across the world, and some of these conflicts are at the point turning into genocide.  The war between Armenia and Azerbaijan is one such conflict.  In September of this year, Azerbaijan launched a full-scale attack, taking over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, a region that has been disputed between the two nations since the early 1990's.  


The first war over the region was waged from 1988-1994 and ended with Armenia taking control of much of the disputed territory.  However, in Sept. of 2020 Azerbaijan attacked with a better equipped and better trained army, taking over much of the territory that they had lost in 1994.  Three years later, Azerbaijan successfully took over the entire territory, leading over 100,000 Armenian civilians to flee the region.  The Sept. 2023 offensive not only witnessed Azerbaijan taking over the region and the flight of 100,000 Armenians citizens, it also witness the nation taking over land that is considered part of the Armenian nation itself.  Though the World Court mandated that Azerbaijan allow the 100,000 Armenian refugees to return to their homes, many are afraid to do so as they fear living under the control of the Azeri government.  Armenians who fled testified how their villages were shelled and shot at by Azeri forces without warning and many had no idea what to do, leading the Armenians to flee for their lives.  

Making matters worse, Azerbaijan is now seeing an opportunity to press their advance even further.  Azeri officials are now claiming that the land of the Syunik Province of Armenia (The Location of the Famous Tatev Monastery) is actually traditional Azeri territory (Western Azerbaijan) and are now threatening the region.  This is nothing but a blatant lie as the Tatev Monastery and other Armenian cultural sites have been in this region for over 1,000 years, clearly showing that this is a long-standing part of the Armenian homeland.

The reality is that Azerbaijan and Turkey are to Armenia what Hamas is to Israel.  Turkey attempted to wipe out the Armenian people over 100 years ago, a crime for which the leaders of the nation today have yet to acknowledge or apologize for.  In the meantime, the have actively aided Azerbaijan in their war and even allowed militants from the Middle East to cross through their nation to assist Azerbaijan.  Making matters worse is that the ceasefire is fragile and is being held by minimal Russian forces.  However, the nation of Russia is currently preoccupied with their ongoing war in Ukraine and is in no position to prevent a full-scale war from breaking out between these nations.  Many Armenians today feel that their plight is being ignored by the world, especially other Christian nations, and the fear that what happened in 1915 could very well repeat itself if the world continues to ignore this crisis.

Hamas Invasion of Israel

The brutal invasion of Israel by Hamas caught the entire world by surprise.  Over the last few years Israel has become accustomed to turning back rocket attacks and occasional cross-border raids by Hamas terrorists, but nobody anticipated this brutal full-out invasion.  Already being dubbed as "Israel's 9/11," militants stormed across the Gaza border and attacked towns across southern Israel.  Already over 900 Israelis are confirmed dead, thousands more wounded, and over 100 hostages, including women & children, have been taken back to Gaza ( Video Footage of Massacres ).   Israeli Woman Taken Hostage by Hamas The deadliest massacre so far took place at the Nova Music Festival in the Negev Desert close to Urim, a Jewish community that lives close to the Gaza Strip.  At 6am on Oct. 7th, the attack on the festival began as rockets rained down and Hamas gunmen appeared and opened fire.  As of now over 260 Israelis are confirmed dead from this attack alone with a number o

The Plague of Jihad is all over the world.  The past few days has witnessed Israel suffer the most horrific attack that it has endured since the October War of 1973, yet for all of the senseless death, for all of the footage that we see of Hamas militants murdering Israelis in cold blood, many in the world are in fact celebrating this atrocity.   Hamas Supporters in Canada In Iran, crowds of Hamas supporters took to the streets to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis by Hamas while their government leaders lavished praise on the terrorists ( Link to Article ).  In the nation of Turkey, Hamas supporters crowded the streets of Istanbul chanting "Allahu Akbar" & "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Yahud" ( Link to Video ).  "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud" is the full version of the chant.  It translates to "Khaybar Khaybar or Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return."  For those unfamiliar with the context of this chant, Khaybar was the

Hamas and Their Child Soldier Training Camps

Image
For years the world has known that Hamas deliberately targets children for indoctrination and training to carry out terrorist missions.  They have camps throughout Gaza and other areas of the Middle East where children are taught to hate, & trained to kill.  These camps are often referred to as "Summer Youth Camps."  The titles sound harmless enough, but unlike the summer youth camps in the U.S. and other Western nations where children play games, do crafts, and in general, have fun, the Hamas "Summer Youth Camps" are nothing like this.  They're training camps, where children are trained in weapons handling, military drills, and are indoctrinated to "hate the Infidel," particularly Jews.   Link to Video On videos that have circulated across the online world, these children have openly confessed that they have come here for the purpose of learning to fight.  One such video surfaced on MEMRI with a child openly stating "We did not come here to e
