This is why we will never leave our lands to the Azeris!

“The image of the 12th floor of my house in Baku, Azerbajian haunted me all my life as a child and as an adult. I watched from our balcony as tens of thousands of Azerbaijanis gathered 1/12
in the boulevard, singing to clean the city from the Armenians. Absolute fear, my mother grabbed me on the balcony, turning off the lights. The ethnic killings of Armenians began on February 27, 1988, in the town of Sumgait, just 18 miles from the capital where we lived. 2/12
After the rally, the men were given lists, addresses of Armenian neighborhoods, houses and places of work. Immediately my family went into hiding. No one was spared, complete anarchy. Thousands of Armenians have been brutally tortured, 3/12
sodomized, burnt alive ... Pregnant women and babies, girls, women and even grandmothers were gang raped while our brothers, fathers, husbands were forced to watch. Women were forced to dance in the streets naked, 4/12
then soaked in gasoline and set on fire alive. Babies smashed against the sidewalks. (Forgive me for sharing the details ... I live with these memories) My loved ones, stabbed, beaten, tortured, raped, kicked out of the building alive and their bodies mutilated. 5/12
Over 300,000 300,000 Armenians purged overnight from their homes, grab what they can carry on the run to safety. This is how my family became refugees, this is what we miraculously survived. 6/12
This is the horror repeating itself in my mind. We function, carry on, rebuild life as best we can, with post-traumatic stress disorder - genocide is not something the human psyche can simply "handle." 7/12
When refugees are brought into an adoptive community, we are quickly immersed in employment, public schools and we are supposed to "assimilate." Imagine living with this aggravated trauma. 8/12
The stress of rebuilding your life in a new land with no resources to help heal from surviving horrific war, massacre, torture, violence, loss of family members ... just a few hours of orientation, a job and the pressure to assimilate quickly. 9/12
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the ethnic murders in Baku. Today, I remember my loved ones and the thousands who were killed, and I pledge to continue to fight for justice in their honor. »10/12
Source: A survivor of this ethnic cleansing! For security reasons I will not put the name of this person because we all know how dangerous it ca become once his information is in the hands of Azeris and Turks. 11/12
If you've read all of this, you might finally understand what is at stake today in the Armenians' fight for Artsakh! We are at war for our existence, our right to life, our right to simply exist! And we will win 🙏🇦🇲 #RecognizeArtsakh

Voilà pourquoi nous ne laisserons jamais nos terres aux Azeris!

« L'image du 12 ème étage de ma maison à Bakou, en Azerbajian m'a hanté toute ma vie d'enfant et d'adulte. J'ai regardé depuis notre balcon, alors que des dizaines de milliers d'Azerbaïdjanais se rassembler 1/12
ds le boulevard,chantant pour nettoyer la ville des Arméniens. La peur absolue,ma mère m'a agrippée au balcon,éteignant les lumières.Les meurtres ethniques d'Arméniens ont commencé le 27février 1988, dans la ville de Sumgait,à seulement 18miles de la capitale où nous vivions.2/12
Après le rassemblement, les hommes ont reçu des listes, des adresses des quartiers arméniens, des maisons et des lieux de travail. Immédiatement ma famille s'est cachée. Personne n'a été épargné, anarchie complète. Des milliers d'Arméniens ont été brutalement torturés, 3/12
