The whole South Caucasus is #Putin's & 🇷🇺's hostage. Armenia. Even Georgia. Even Azerbaijan. We all tried to break free in different ways: revolutions, association agreements, alliances w/ alternative players.
Look at us. Everyone's security in our region is extremely fragile.
That is why Aliyev signed an agreement with Putin a day before his invasion despite years of avoiding formal alliance. That is why Pashinyan didn't tweet his deep concerns (Putin may as well send some Chechen soldiers to Yerevan). That is why Georgia refrained from sanctions.

I'm walking to a anti-Russian protest now. I'm raising awareness 24/7. I'm opening my apartment to anyone I know who needs support, encouragement or help.
But when war came to my country in 2020, I was left alone in my uni residence room for weeks w/o a word of sympathy or care.
No one hates war more than I do. I am triggered every minute by visuals, words, videos. It took me almost 1.5 years to get my mental health and stability back after #NagornoKarabakh. But I did that mostly alone, with maybe 2-3 people giving me a shoulder to cry on.
