“Two years ago this October, Azerbaijan committed what had been, until the Israeli rampage of the past year, among the most egregious cases of ethic cleaning since the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, when in the matter of days its armed forces took control of the Armenian enclave Nagorno Karabakh in which 120,000 Christian Armenians were forced to flee the land which had been their home for centuries. In the months that followed, Azerbaijan’s dictator, Ilham Aliyev, claimed that ‘present-day Armenia is our land.’ … Fast forward to the last week of September …. the U.S. embassy issued a statement that read, in part, that ‘the United States is committed to working with the Armenian government to assist those who have lost their homes and livelihood.’ Yet such sentiments are difficult to take seriously when roughly a week later NATO sent a high-level delegation to Baku to kiss Aliyev’s ring.” (10/21/24)
