  • Summary

  • In the first half of today’s episode, international human rights lawyer Karnig Kerkonian discusses Azerbaijan’s ethnic cleansing of the Artsakh-Armenians from the region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Karnig outlines the genocidal intent of President Ilham Aliyev, how the U.S. knew and yet didn’t take steps to stop it, and how the international community should respond — not least of all as this year’s climate summit (COP29) is being held, ironically, in what Karnig calls the petrol-dictatorship of Azerbaijan. Then, journalist and researcher Chip Gibbons joins the show to discuss Israel’s targeted and mass killing of journalists on the ground in Gaza. Chip highlights the vehement hypocrisy with which the U.S. pretends to uphold freedom of the press while not only ignoring the murder of journalists but also pushing for a media blackout and censorship of reports from Gaza. GUESTS: Karnig Kerkonian is the founder of the Chicago-based law firm Kerkonian Dajani. Chip Gibbons is Policy Director at Defending Rights and Dissent, an NGO created by the merger of the Bill of Rights Defense Committee and the Defending Dissent Foundation. He is working on a book about the FBI, tentatively titled The Imperial Bureau. The post A genocide in the Caucasus? / Israeli killings of journalists appeared first on KPFA.
