Armenia
The Daily Beast was the first on the ground in the Lachin Corridor after thousands began fleeing a deadly conflict that Russia had tried—and failed—to rein in.
The move threatens to reignite a full-blown war between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
It’s no coincidence that flyers calling to “complete the Armenian Genocide” are popping up around Los Angeles as Azerbaijan’s anti-Armenian hostilities get worse.
The statement stands in stark contrast to other Kremlin allies that are not deviating from loyalty to Moscow.
Azerbaijan is starving and freezing thousands of Armenians through a blockade. And yet, the U.S. seems to care more about non-Russian energy options than human suffering.
The trip coincides with a decision from the European Parliament to recognize Russia as a “state sponsor of terrorism,” which already has sent Moscow into a rage.
The United States has a long history of inaction on genocide, while offering hollow statements like “Never Again.” It is time for that to change.
