To anyone interested in learning about Artsakh, its history and the struggle of Artsakhi Armenians for freedom and self determination, I suggest checking out Learn For Artsakh initiative (@/learn4artsakh on Instagram).They share a lot of information on these topics and spotlight the interconnection of violence inflicted on the indigenous groups in the region by the colonizing powers.

They also have an e-library with free pdfs of many books written by Armenians about Artsakh as well as literature about DR Congo, Sudan, Palestine and other nations experiencing genocide (scroll down to the "Libraries Against Genocide" section).

in armenia, gay marriage is illegal, openly gay men are banned from joining the military, gay couples are not allowed to adopt, and there is no law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual/romantic orientation. even though homosexuality has been legal (only) since 2004, it remains taboo and misunderstood. homophobia and transphobia are rampant.

armenia has been ranked 47th out of 49 european countries for lgbt rights.

please consider donating to pink armenia if you can. happy pride month especially to my fellow lgbt armenians! <3
