Armenia - Tumblr Posts
Again, both Azerbaijan and Israel are participating in Eurovision. Israel even had American and Western artists defending to keep it in this Eurovision despite other European artists firmly being against this stance since - you know genocide.
every single thing they talking about in this video
Please don't forget Armenians
Today is Armenian genocide remembrance day. On april 24, 1915 started mass deportations of hundreds of Armenian intelectuals and community leaders, who were (most of the time) eventually killed. Armenian women and children were systematically r//ed and forcibly converted into islam. There were more than 2 milion Armenians in ottoman empire prior to ww1, 1,5 milion of them were viciously killed. Three millennia of Armenian civilaziation in eastern Anatolis was fully destroyed. Turkey today refuses to acknowledge genocides of christian minorities in early 20th century.
Do you know that mass ethnic cleansing of Armenians in ottoman empire inspired Lemkin to coin the term 'genocide'?
Last year in september azerbaijan allied with turkey initiated a war against Armenia. More that 5000 Armenians were murdered, thousands of Armenia families had to live their ancestrial land to not get murdered. There are hundreds of vids on internet where armenian p.o.w.s are tortured. Recently azerbaijan opened a "museum" displayind dead or dying Armenians and kids were allowed to visit it.
Please educate yourself on Armenian genocide. You can also donate here to help Armenia. Thanks for reading!!
My favorite model moments at the Parade of Nations Fashion Show kicking off the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 featuring a collection of avant-garde paper-based fashion designs by Swedish designer, Bea Szenfeld. (x)
Belgium kicking things off by opening the avant-garde runway
Italy and those open hands keeping things sharp and sleek
Bulgaria with that insane stacked wedding cake collar realness
Germany and that voguing elephant death drop on the LED floor
Australia shimmying in that wildly gorgeous 3D flower coat
Croatia serving up some hot abs-and-crotch-first deliciousness
Spain busting out some slick Say Yay! moves in that Yeti hoodie
Ukraine and what looks to be a cloud of dodecahedronal marshmallows
Austria and that blink-and-you'll-miss-it sassy head snap and lip bite
Armenia closing the fabulous runway show by preening like a bird
My favorite staging moments at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest:
Iceland's fabulous shadow demon exorcism complete with major fringe
Spain faking a fall after a dance spin and cutting immediately to black
Cyprus caging their wild rockers plus an epic guitar solo/wolf howl section
Georgia with their trippy kaleidoscopic graphics and a purple-infused light show
Austria serving some fierce twirling Disney Princess realness and a burst of LED butterflies.
Belgium opening strong with silvery sequin goodness and ridiculously attractive and diverse singing backup dancers
Armenia shutting everything down by shooting plenty of dramatic flame towers and projecting some sexy hologram clones
Russia basically going for broke and stepping up with an insanely bonkers and expensive looking projection mapping choreography
Australia channeling haute couture and sci-fi with a gorgeous ball gown, a holographic interface, and some epic key changes
And of course... Ukraine sucking up all the light from the floor and wailing out a magnificent golden tree of rebirth in the background
turkey and azerbaijan are attacking armenia right now, and it's 1915 all over again because the world is distracted and people are too busy wondering if they're gonna live or die, and who gives a shit about my country anyway? my mum told me to tell my friends and explain to them what's happening and that we are the victims in this war because azerbaijan is spreading lies and people are believing their lies and i told her, what good is that going to do? do you think anyone's going to come to our aid? is russia going to help us? is america? is england? erdogan said they will finish what their ancestors started, and he means genocide. he means ethnic cleansing. he means to massacre every last one of us. and in doing so admitted to the very same thing turkey has spent 105 years denying. i don't know who to tell and what good telling people will do because we're a small, insignificant country, and we have nothing to offer to the people in power, the handful who rule the world. so i sit here with my pain and i feel helpless. i know there's twitter threads and links to petitions and people being urged to contact their senators, and sorry if im being pessimistic, but azerbaijan has been attacking us for the last 22 years, and though we defend ourselves, we can't do anything to stop them. they've violated ceasefires (and geneva conventions) multiple times. i don't think they'll rest until every last one of us is dead.
we just want peace. we just want to live peacefully. we're not asking for a lot here.
I don’t study genocides war crimes and human rights for fun. I study it bc my people have been at the foot from the very first genocide of the 20th century and previous attempts to exterminate my entire race. The fact that no one is speaking up when another genocide is at the brink of occurring to the ethnic Armenians living in Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) is mind blowing. I have to say I’m not surprised by the lack of effort - Americans, especially, are the most self interested humans I’ve met. This isn’t about narrative, this is about rapid belligerent individualism. We can philosophize all day about it but at the end - people don’t give a shit about anyone but themselves. There is rarely any altruism left in this world. As Monte said, no ones gonna fight for us, we will have to fight on our own to survive. The alternative is not an option.
@sarinezeitlian on IG for the photos
Almost 200 people were murdered in Armenia in 3 days and y'all are still ignoring us.
This is not a war, this is a massacre Azerbaijan and Turkey are committing against the Armenian people.
Turkey's president literally admitted that he wants to finish what his ancestors started. He wants to commit another genocide, and this time he wants to kill us all.
Silence is violence
The world failed Armenia again.
The blue lands have been taken from the indigineous people by azerbaijani forces during war.
The red lands are going to be occupied by azerbaijan too after the “agreement”.
The green lands are the only ones we have left.
We lost almost 70% of our land. The indigenous people - armenians, lost 70% of their land in modern world, 2020, just to avoid SECOND genocide and extermination. People lost their homes, their culture, churches and everything they’ve built for so long.
This is a fucking joke. The international human rights organisations are a big fucking joke. A cruel one at that.
I’m mourning because the world failed my people again and let a second genocide happen.
Please share this information so more people know just how fucked up the situation in Armenia is.
I’m sure everyone is sick of seeing political posts, this isn’t political, it’s a humanitarian crisis! And it’s not only happening “somewhere else” anymore!
Armenians are being attacked in the streets of my country!!Why is there not national outrage, or a movement rising up?? Where is anyone outside of the Armenian population screaming for equality? A genocide is literally taking place RIGHT NOW but you all would rather get upset and put your energy into candidates who are literally doing nothing of substance to help this situation while schools, hospitals and civilian homes are destroyed.
In 1915 no one cared about Armenia either, they watched as these same instigators marched women, children and elderly out into the desert with the sole intention of none of them making it back home, this is after murdering the men and those strong enough to fight back in front of their families. The term genocide was coined solely because of this tragedy! An entire culture almost wiped from the planet, and people still say we are overreacting!
Don’t allow this to happen again, don’t be someone who sits back as an entire country and culture are facing the threat of a SECOND GENOCIDE!!!! Please, wake up, do something, spread the news, because it could be me or my family being targeted tomorrow.
