Stop the New Armenian Genocide

The Davidank monastery

The Armenian Genocide is not over. On September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan attacked Nagorno Karabakh and forced out its entire Armenian Christian population - nine months to the day after CSI issued a Genocide Warning for the region. Now, the Republic of Armenia itself is in danger - targeted by Azerbaijan and its ally Turkey.

Ethnic cleansing in Nagorno Karabakh: the high cost of neo-Ottoman ambitions

Azerbaijan has ethnically and religiously cleansed Nagorno Karabakh of Armenian Christians, something CSI and other human rights groups had long warned would happen. The UN Security Council failed to act on these warnings. Its paralysis is due to a growing geopolitical dependence on an emerging pan-Turkic imperial constellation, writes CSI President John Eibner.
