Have you ever wondered what Christmas looks like while living under siege? In Artsakh, 120,000 people, including 30,000 children, are living under a blockade, cut off from the only road connecting them to the world. The children are afraid that Santa Claus will not come because of the illegal road closure. How does one build and uplift a festive spirit when the

Hello ma’am, my name is Joshua Rozanski and I live in the United States of America. Im an independent researcher/consultant regarding international law, economics and security cooperation, working to support and develop nations rights to self-determination and diplomatic engagement. Im accredited as a Master of Arts in Diplomacy from Norwich University School of Diplomacy, and I have a Bachelor’s of Arts in Political Science from California State University East Bay.
In addition, I’m a military veteran, being honorably discharged as a non-commissioned officer with leadership experience. I also hold membership as a member of the International Association of Writers Printers and Editors (IAPWE) as a result of past graduate research work and have contributed in the past to the Center for International Policy non-profit organization.
I read your article “Christmas in Artsakh under blockade,” and I was moved by it. I myself have been monitoring events through various news sources regarding events in Artsakh, and it saddens me the blockade is still in effect. The world’s silence for the most part in my opinion is inexcusable, especially as the world is changing so much so fast in many ways. You’re article conveyed a sense of true emotion behind these events from a human perspective, not a cold, bureaucratic one as in many other sources documenting these events transpiring even now.
Respectfully, I would like to offer my assistance and support in any way I can help within my professional abilities to the people of Artsakh during this time, volunteering them if you are aware of any ways to do so. Again, I am an independent researcher/consultant and advocate regarding international law economics security cooperation, and I work remotely from the United States. I am willing to provide my CV, as well as evidence of my stated credentials and past research work if requested.
Please feel free to reach out to me at anytime if you wish to correspondence further. I can be reached at jazz15651@yahoo.com for email correspondence. Again, I thank you for your time, and wish you a safe and blessed holiday season.
Very Respectfully and Sincerely Joshua Rozanski
The concept of an eye for an eye for this filthy Azerbaijani tribe is nothing new and it is very close to their hearts. Therefore, Armenians should devise a secret plan to turn their New Year’s Day (Novruz Bayrami) celebration on March 21 into a day of mourning instead. They should be taught a lesson they will never forget for another thirty years. As we’ve been witnessing for the last couple of weeks, for these despicable hyenas the lives of Armenians, from toddlers to elderly, is unimportant and they could care less even if they are made to starve to death for their political trickery. We must hit back at them and hit back very hard. These animals are not environmentalists but the agents of their fascist government. If they were environmentalists they would have raised concerns on environmental issues in their own backyards first and foremost caused by their oil fields for decades that are exploited to fill the pockets of the corrupt Aliyev clan.
