The demonstration comes after fighting erupted July 12 in the Tavush province, along the border region of Armenia and Azerbaijan, the New York Times reported.
“[Azerbaijan] began by shelling civilian populations, targeting civilian communities at the border with heavy artillery, tanks and combat drones,” said Alex Galitsky of the Armenian National Committee of America. “They damaged a number of civilian properties, including kindergartens, and also targeted a PPE mask facility, which is incredibly egregious given the fact that Armenia has been one of the worst countries in the world hit by the COVID-19 crisis.”

What? Seriously?
One cannot make up this stuff.
I mean I know some Azerbaijani people too but LA/Glendale is definitely more Armenian and Christian. And they’ve been through so much. I want their land respected.

you are so right....lots of conflicts going on but we dumb Americans have nothing better to do then riot and destroy history.
This is a whole new conflict, amigo.
WTF?
There was a thread here on FR earlier.
Apparently the ChiComs are being evicted and cleaning house before they move out.
Not our fight.
Thanks...I checked through a few pages of postings, and didn't see it. I used to post articles many, many years ago, but stopped because the search rarely worked, and you'd find that the same article had already been posted several times.
Good! Great! Another swamp hole of Xianvsmohameddan! Oh sure, you bet, dial a Marine is at your service!
Really??? This stuff pre-dates WW1!!
Hey! Americans of Armenian descent, you live here now, and some have at least 2 generations here. If yall think you are “still over there”, then take your butts over there and fix it !!
Do not expect American military folks to go and fight your tribal wars.
