Legendary Queen guitarist Brian May took to Instagram on Sunday to raise awareness of the latest Azerbaijani military aggression against Armenia.

“I’m breaking my silence here because another tragedy seems to be unfolding, and there is a danger, as always these days, that the media will not report it truthfully. Armenia is a tiny country, lacking any oil or gas or substantial wealth, an island of Christianity and democracy surrounded on all sides by despotic dictatorships. It is one of the most peaceful countries in the world, with a profound embedded sadness because of its tragic history – during the first World War 1.2 million Armenians were murdered by the Ottoman Empire, in a brutal ethnic cleansing operation still denied by Turkey,” the musician wrote on Instagram.

“Today Armenia is again threatened, by a conspiracy to wipe it from the face of the Earth. Just two days ago, peaceful villages on the Armenian border were shelled by Azerbaijan in an offensive to terrorize and destabilize the Armenian people. Against an unholy alliance of three ruthless dictatorships, Armenia is all but defenseless, and needs the full support of the West to survive,” he said.

“The world needs to know this situation,” May said as he shared a post by System of a Down and asked his followers to re-post it to counter the misinformation which is being poured out by Azerbaijan and its allies to pretend that Armenian is an aggressor.

“In a world dominated by lies, we must all speak up for truth and justice,” the guitarist stressed.
