Azerbaijan Blockades Only Lifeline to Armenians in Artsakh, Risking Genocide
-
Azerbaijan has blockaded the Lachin Corridor, the only lifeline for Armenians in Artsakh, cutting off food, medicine, and aid. This amounts to using starvation as a weapon.
-
The blockade has already led to significant loss of life and long-term trauma. Azerbaijan aims to force Armenians to leave Artsakh.
-
Genocide watchdog groups and UN experts have warned this is genocide under the Genocide Convention. Action is urgently needed.
-
The US should pressure Azerbaijan to reopen the corridor without preconditions, through sanctions, aid cuts, and legal action. Inaction enables genocide.

As private citizens, Kim and Dr. Esrailian are amplifying the truth and appealing for US leadership to stop another genocide from occurring.
