Yesterday was the unveiling of Komitas Vartabed’s monument in Montreal. The father of Armenian Folk Music, persecuted in 1915, survived the genocide physically, but was driven into emotional trauma by it.
Thanks to him, thousands of our Folk songs #Survived the #ArmenianGenocide.

#Azerbaijan is shamelessly trying to derail any progress on retrieving the bodies of casualties and the return of #Armenian POW's. This is yet another major violation of international humanitarian law by the brutal dictatorship in Baku and must be addressed accordingly.

Many families lost loved ones as the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict escalated.
They are enduring an agonising wait to bury their loved ones.
Unexploded devices make retrieving their bodies dangerous. We continue to support those working together in this difficult task.
A great compilation of very insightful and eye-opening articles on the now endangered status of #Artsakh's cultural heritage.
