"The teachers and school staff do incredible work educating our kids, but parents want to know what's going on in the day-to-day lives of their children," PC Leader Heather Stefanson said at a campaign announcement in St. Vital Park on Thursday.

'Reasonable' to believe genocide against Armenians being committed, former ICC chief prosecutor says | CNN
A former International Criminal Court chief prosecutor has said there is “reasonable basis to believe that genocide is being committed again
CNN

Azerbaijan has blocked all the roads to Nagorno-Karabakh for over 7 months now. People are starving, not receiving the medical help they need, there's no fuel... It is a "silent genocide."

The article above doesn't explain why other countries aren't doing anything, but my local paper where I saw this news did, and it is a combination of the following things:

– Azerbaijan is allied with Turkey, which "Western" countries are trying not to annoy at the moment, because of the situation at the Black Sea being a bit delicate rn.

– Azerbaijan also has a lot of natural resources related to energy, which the EU is horny for.

– BP has also invested massively in Azerbaijan energy stuff, so Britain is also not gonna do anything to endanger all that money.

– Russia is busy with its war in Ukraine, so it is not doing its part in keeping the road open as agreed in the cease fire between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
