Armenian Genocide remembered amid alarms over Azerbaijan’s aggression in Nagorno Karabakh

April 24th marks the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. This year, commemorations take on a new meaning as Armenians continue to face hostility as Azerbaijan, backed by Turkey, continues its monthslong blockade of the only route into Artsakh, the Armenian-governed enclave in Nagorno-Karabakh, cutting off food, water, and gas. Aram Hamparian, the Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee of America, joins Thanos Davelis to discuss why this year’s commemoration of the Armenian Genocide takes on a new sense of urgency, look at the US response to Azerbaijan’s aggression, and explore the steps Congress is taking to give meaning to the words Never Again.
