I have seen many posts on social media about disappointment in non-Armenian friends who have not been sharing information or speaking up about the war in Artsakh.

There are only two things that can stop the Azerbaijan attack.
1. Russia intervenes to protect Armenia
2. The US sanctions Azerbaijan demanding it stop the war.
Trump does not show willingness to get involved. However, the letter supporting Armenia from members of Congress included 50+ Democrats and only 3 Republicans. Clearly, a Democrat in the White House and Democrats controlling Congress are more likely to take a tough line against Azerbaijan to halt the war.
The conversations people should be having are with Armenians in Florida, the #1 “battleground” state in the US presidential election. The conversations should urge them to vote for Biden.
I love this article about how to explain ourselves to our non-Armenian friends and colleagues. Thank you for expressing it so clearly.
Thank you for sharing your insights Dalita. I was also struggling with the words to help my non-Armenian friends and family understand the assault on Armenians in Artasakh and how deeply this affects me. Your talking points are really helpful in explaining what’s happening. I agree that international support starts with education and it’s our job to help others understand our voices must be heard to stop Turkey and Azerbajian’s attack on Armenians.
Excellent article! Thank you, Dalita!
