‘Blood On Its Hands’: Genocide Scholar’s Scorching Message About Biden Admin
Dr. Elyse Semerdjian, a scholar on the Armenian genocide who is on staff at Clark University, believes “the Biden administration has blood on its hands” over its handling of the crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh. “Joe Biden courted the Armenian community under the pretext that he was going to acknowledge the Armenian genocide, which he promptly did,” she said. “But, as a scholar of genocide, I have to ask: what good is that if this genocide is also happening under his watch?”
The conversation also delved into the question of whether the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh could be classified as genocide. Dr. Semerdjian, drawing from her expertise in the field of genocide studies, explained that historical patterns of deprivation and siege tactics had been used as tools of genocide in the past and drew parallels to what has been happening in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Semerdjian said she believes a “green light” is being sent to continue the “genocidal conditions” being perpetuated at the hands of Azerbaijan, the nation that overtook Nagorno-Karabakh after nine months of an imposed blockade of the Lachin corridor. This blockage prevented ethnic Armenians living in the region from receiving food, medicines, and resources. Semerdjian has joined other experts in critiquing the West’s refusal to stop Azerbaijan from taking these actions and essentially invading the area.
“As long as there is no accountability or pushback from the international community, especially the United States, we’re going to see more of this and it’s happening under his watch.” Semerdjian said the situation might not end here, either, as some fear Armenia will be conquered next, allowing for a “corridor to Turkey” to take form; Turkey has sided with Azerbaijan in the dispute. In terms of potential solutions, Dr. Semerdjian called for international efforts to assist Armenians seeking safe passage out of the conflict zone. She also stressed the need for guarantees of Armenian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
