’Genocide’ Warning: Armenian Christians Face Potential Horror, Nagorno-Karabakh Official Speaks Out

Chaos is once again brewing over Nagorno-Karabakh, a small, landlocked region between Armenia and Azerbaijan. This area, comprised chiefly of Armenian Christians, has been disputed for decades. But experts are sounding the alarm, as the typical chaos plaguing the area has recently escalated. Azerbaijani residents reportedly blocked the Lachin corridor Dec. 12, the only land passage into Nagorno-Karabakh, cutting off food, medical supplies, and travel between the area and Armenia. That blockade is now approaching its second week, with desperation increasing. The situation is so dire a group of human rights organizations issued a genocide warning Monday, cautioning how deadly and diabolical the situation could become. The blockade only adds to the alarm. It’s a crisis Ruben Vardanyan, minister of state for Nagorno-Karabakh, is hoping to see remedied as quickly as possible, as his citizens do not have access to travel or much-needed resources. “They block[ed] the road ... without any negotiation with us,“ Vardanyan told CBN’s Faithwire Friday. Watch Vardanyan explain what’s happening on the ground.
