"Every year on April 24, we mark the 1915 Armenian genocide. "This year, we should also reflect on the present day, for Armenians are again facing a new set of atrocities as the world watches on with indifference." 📝 Thomas Becker ti.me/3H5DYHu

En Arménie, avec des élus parisiens et d'autres collectivités. Depuis neuf mois, 120 000 arméniens d'Artsakh, dont 30 000 enfants, sont isolés, affamés, privés de tout. Face à cette catastrophe humanitaire, nous leur apportons une aide d'urgence. Le temps est compté.

Some somber discussion here on events of the last three days: Baku’s subjugation of the Karabakh Armenians by force, how it used Russia and Turkey to get what it wanted and Western diplomacy/ peacemaking was sidelined. With other guests from the region. oc-media.org/podcasts/podca…

The dire humanitarian issue inside Karabakh is surely the main story today. The more international attention and plans for international presence the better. Diplomats in Baku should be asking to visit the region. bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur…

Boris Skossyreff, 'King of Andorra'. In May 1934, a mysterious monocled man who had fled the former Russian Empire declared himself King of Andorra, and proposed a programme of reforms for the principality. Why Andorra? Why then? #Andorra #Microstates #micronation

Basil Zaharoff, the 'Merchant of Death' who bought Monte Carlo. Born to a Greek family in the Ottoman Empire, by the 1900s Zaharoff had become one of the world's major arms dealers and richest men. His business fuelled the Boer War, Balkan Wars, and WWI.

My article on Russia and the South Caucasus for Foreign Affairs. Lots to say but a big theme is this: because of the Ukraine war and sanctions “economic security in the South Caucasus—for now at least—is more important than the hard variety.” foreignaffairs.com/azerbaijan/put…
