YEREVAN, AUGUST 30, ARMENPRESS. Canadian Senator Leo Housakos has called out the West for “twiddling its thumbs” while Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh are “trapped in desperate circumstances by Azerbaijani dictator Ilham Aliyev.”

“Over 120,000 ethnic Armenians are trapped in desperate circumstances by Azerbaijani dictator Ilham Aliyev whilst the West twiddles its thumbs and gives him a wink. This is shameful!” Housakos, a former Speaker of the Canadian Senate, said in a post on X.

He shared an article by Paul Brian titled “The crisis we ignore” calling on the international community to step in immediately and put on pressure to get the Lachin corridor open again.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
