Topic This Week: The War in Artsakh
In Retrospect: Tracing our Steps Back to Sep 27
Today we’re exploring where the diplomacy stood
On Sep. 27, - essentially from the Turkish/Azeri threats of war, for the 2
months since July, - and then why it took a long time for anyone in the
international arena to react and even recognize that there was a real war in
progress; and finally how the world reacted and what it means, and where we're
headed.
Call from Extra-Parliamentary
Opposition for a War Council
On Friday, 13 extra-parliamentary political
parties in Armenia called on the government to create a coordinating and
executive council which includes former presidents, FMs and DM with the
authority to make executive decisions regarding the military/political developments
and to strategize a common action.
Mobilization of the Armenian
Diaspora
The Armenian diaspora has been mobilized since
the first day of the war and worldwide Armenian communities have been engaged
in fundraising, gathering medical and humanitarian assistance as well as
organizing protests in major cities around the world. The communities have also
activated in urging their governments to #RecognizeArtsakh. How important has
this been in the overall war effort?
