Please take time to understand. To watch. To listen. To share. This is about survival. My full conversation to explain what’s going on in Armenia — and WHY. It is important note — this is not a conflict, this is not a border skirmish— this is much more serious. And yes words matter a great deal— because without using the proper words to describe what’s happening, then those who don’t know— will look at the situation in a very different light and not understand the urgency. The country of Armenia is under attack. This is about people’s lives. This is about humanity. Alex Galitsky with the @armenian_national_committee explains why time is of the essence: “This is the battle for the life of the Armenian nation, but beyond that it's also the battle for democracy, in a region of the world where democracy is proven elusive.” “The stakes are incredibly high, and the consequences and costs of not acting immediately to condemn Azerbaijan’s actions and to put a halt to violence will only lead to the proliferation of this kind of violence in the future.”
