Human rights organizations and political bodies, including the US Congress, are investigating alleged violations by the Azerbaijani government. The anniversary is marked by memorials and calls for accountability, as leaders from the de facto Republic of Artsakh and Armenia reflect on the loss of their homeland.

It's really tragic what's happening in Nagorno-Karabakh, but I have to wonder why we always seem to look to big governments and international bodies to fix these issues. Governments, whether it's Azerbaijan, Armenia, or some international coalition, often screw things up and make conflicts worse. People should have the right to self-determination without being pawns in geopolitical games. Instead of waiting for bureaucrats to "investigate," maybe we need to rethink how much power these institutions hold over people's lives. Human rights violations are terrible, but more government control rarely seems like the answer. Let people govern themselves and stop meddling in their affairs.
