On April 24, 1915, 1.5 million Armenians were massacred at the hands of the Ottoman Empire . To this day Turkey and their ally, Azerbaijan, deny the genocide. In September of 2020, Azerbaijan launched a full scale war on the Republic of Artsakh . Artsakh is occupied by indigenous Armenians and has been under a blockade by Azerbaijan for over 100 days.

During the blockade, Azerbaijan cut off power to Artsakh, leaving residents without heat in the freezing cold winter.
