The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Putin and his accomplices for the abduction of Ukrainian children. What Russia is doing in Ukraine is a continuation of genocide (Holodomor). Turks also stole hundreds of thousands of Armenian children and assimilated them into their colonial culture.

“Eco-activists” who were behind the blockade and genocide of Artsakh have arrived to Yerevan to negotiate “peace”. That is all one needs to know about the so-called peace agreement that Trump arranged between Armenia and so-called Aberbaijan.

Will the German media cover this? German activists are being tortured by Turkish and Israeli entities, but there is no coverage in German or international media. Watch the whole thing.

Vance deleted this after two hours. Apparently, commemoration of the victims of the Armenian G* lasts only as long as it does not upset Turkish partners.

Eastern Armenia, the last remnant of Armenian land not under occupation, is now under threat from Azerbaijan. Your solidarity matters now more than ever.

After a year-long blockade and starvation campaign, the entire Armenian population of the Artsakh Republic was forcibly deported. This was the second Armenian genocide. Now, Armenian hostages are being tortured, and Armenian heritage is being systematically destroyed.

Today, we not only remember the genocide that took place in the Ottoman Empire and the ongoing erasure of Armenian life and culture in Western Armenia, but we also mourn what happened in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) in 2023.

In April, Armenians around the world commemorate the genocide committed in the Ottoman Empire. To this day, we are denied the right to return to our indigenous lands. Millions of Armenians were forced to flee, massacred, survivors in so-called Turkey have to hide their identities.

The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

Is this true? 🙃 Trump is a KGB agent, he was recruited by the USSR KGB in 1987, - ex-head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee Musayev said According to Musayev, the Soviet security services took Donald into circulation in 1987. He had the code name “Krasnov”.

No one represents us. The Russian opposition does nothing but build idols and fight among themselves. It’s all a sad spectacle. Navalny tried not to live in the past and kept evolving. And what are you doing? What’s next? The problem is not justfake politicians as Katz. Or not just Putin.

I don’t want to diminish the traumas of Russians. I understand how hard it was to protest and live in Russia. I understand the hardships of migration. But at the same time, I—like many other non-Russian people—don’t understand the Russian opposition.

Arshak Makichyan @makichyan.bsky.social · 16/02/2025
There are no more politicians of Navalny’s scale because Russian people simply don’t need them right now. The era of easy resistance is over. Now is the time for Russian infighting and lamenting.

Arshak Makichyan @makichyan.bsky.social · 16/02/2025
then Navalny will remain just a dream and a false hope—the one that attended Russian nationalist marches and wrote nonsense about minorities.

He was inspiring, he did a lot of important work, he was a significant politician. But if the Russian opposition doesn’t learn to take the next steps and talk about real problems

Navalny was just a Russian dream Today marks a year since his murder. Over this past year, I have stopped feeling like part of the Russian opposition. And unfortunately, there are many reasons for that.

The owner of the wrecked tanker was fined ₽300,000 (about $3,000). Thousands of tonnes of mazut, a heavy and toxic oil byproduct, have spilled from aging Russian tankers, poisoning waters and devastating marine ecosystem, one of biggest environmental catastrophes in Black Sea.

Somehow, the Fridays For Future Russia account got suspended on Instagram. We are not active as a movement right now, but the situation can change. We spent a lot of time building the platform and risking our lives protesting in Russia. This is really disturbing.

“Power and oil—are death.” In Krasnodar (so-called Russia), anarchists put up a banner in front of the Rosneft office.

A military court in Moscow sentenced 18-year-old Kursk-based Russian-Armenian activist Gagik Grigoryan to 7 years in a penal colony in a fabricated case. He was arrested when he was 17 years old.

One of the fake environmental activists, who started the blockade of Artsakh and is complicit in the genocide, is bragging about a certificate she received for participating in the greenwashing of genocide at COP29, issued by the UN. GONGO activist. GONGO volunteer. Criminal.

If someone writes a book about how messed up life will be for future generations, they’ll be called a Nostradamus in 2050s. And the slogans for the future presidential campaings will be “we didn't know” and “I was following the orders”.

I am not going to flee. Aliyev should read history and learn what happened to the pashas who organized the g*nocide.

I am planning to move to Armenia after I finish my master’s degree. However, after the threats from Aliyev’s regime, I am considering changing my plans. My grandparents had to flee from the Nakhijevan Republic, and my great-grandmother from Erzurum (Karin).

It should not be like this. People should not have to hide their identities in the 21st century. It’s time for so-called Turkey to recognize its crimes and restore our rights. It’s time for real reconciliation and justice.

A lot of Armenians in 1915 were saved by Kurds and took Kurdish names to survive. I am sharing stories of hidden Armenians and the continuous g* of Armenians on our indigenous lands. More and more people are sharing their stories with me.

Changing the curriculum is what they do in dictatorships. HTS regime want to remove all criticism of the history of Ottoman colonialism and genocides 🙃

A really interesting podcast about the influence of genocides against indigenous people and colonization of the Caucasus by the Russian Empire, as well as the Ottoman Empire’s instrumentalization of migration flows to promote their colonial policies. Empires always work together.

Arshak Makichyan @makichyan.bsky.social · 22/12/2024
My heart breaks every time I get DMs like this. To this day, hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of hidden Armenians live on their own indigenous lands in fear. Please speak up for the rights of indigenous people in Western Armenia (so-called Eastern Turkey).

My relatives in Armenia hate Russia and refuse to speak Russian because of the russian colonial policies and their complicity in both of the Armenian genocides.

And the funniest thing is that he (Dostoevsky) includes Armenian land and the lands of hundreds of other peoples, against whom Russia committed multiple genocides (e.g., the Circassian genocide in the 1860s), in the term “Russian land.”

Went to the Botanical Gardens in Yerevan (and Insect Hotel 😄). It is now under renovation and not everything is open, but I still enjoyed it. I will definitely go again. If this place is taken care of, it might turn out to be something very beautiful and important.
