Gev Iskajyan, the executive director of ANC-Artsakh, is sounding the alarm about the ongoing crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh, a small, landlocked region between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In an interview this week with CBN's Faithwire, Iskajyan added more details about the rampant desperation 60 days into the crisis and warned the situation could devolve into genocide of the Armenian Christians living there. He detailed the dire impact the blockage of the Lachin corridor is having on Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as Artsakh. "Over 120,000 ethnic Armenians rely on that road [for] food, medicine, even energy and other vital supplies, necessities that the population needs to survive," he said. "And that's been essentially shut down...for over, you know, two months now." From rolling blackouts to food shortages, the situation is dire, with "scarcity on every single [societal] level." Iskajyan left his native California last year to live and work in Nagorno-Karabakh, shedding light on events unfolding on the ground. He also spoke about the broader conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, explaining how religious identity could play into the conflict. "Christianity is a bedrock of Armenian identity. It goes hand in hand," he said. "It has since 300 A.D. "That is a part of the identity that people carry with them every day." While many see the conflict as a land dispute, Iskajyan explained why religious elements could also come into play. Watch what he had to say.
