Minute for Mission: Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day

They left their homeland in fear of persecution and ethnic cleansing … A heartbreaking tragedy is unfolding in Armenia due to continuous greedy and barbaric invasions by Azerbaijan. More than 120,000 innocent people of Artsakh (the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic), who endured starvation for over nine months under severe blockade, have been forced to flee their homeland to save their lives. They left in fear of persecution and ethnic cleansing, abandoning an irreplaceable cultural and religious landscape that includes at least 300 Armenian heritage sites, ranging from exquisite medieval monasteries to historic cemeteries adorned with iconic Armenian engraved cross stones. Recent history, just over the past two years, demonstrates the inevitable risk of dismantling, destruction and falsification of these cultural and religious sites.

Armenian villages throughout the Ottoman territories of 1915 were emptied out in a systematic campaign to demean and destroy innocent victims.

A fight to end genocide and injustice

“The Promise” is no mere period love story but a “fight to end genocide and injustice,” promoters say. In the recently released film, actor Christian Bale plays an American journalist trying to expose the Ottoman plot to exterminate millions of Armenians.
