Ana Kasparian Spotlights Armenian Genocide, Azerbaijan’s Ethnic Cleansing of Artsakh and Israel’s Role, in Explosive Interview With Tucker Carlson.
Ana Kasparian, an Armenian-American political analyst with 345,000 followers, spoke about the 2020 war in Artsakh, the ethnic cleansing of Armenians by Azerbaijan, the destruction of ancient Armenian churches, Israel’s role in arming Azerbaijan, the Armenian Genocide, and the Armenian diaspora’s survival in places like Syria, Lebanon, Iran, and the U.S. in an interview with Tucker Carlson on the Tucker Carlson Network, released July 25, 2025, reports Zartonk Media.
Carlson, one of the most influential media figures in the world, has 16.5 million followers on X. The 90-minute podcast covered a wide range of issues, but it was a roughly 10-minute exchange on Armenia, Artsakh, and the legacy of genocide and displacement.
A Raw, Unfiltered Look at Armenia and the 2020 Artsakh War
Midway through the conversation, Carlson asked Kasparian about the largely forgotten war between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the region of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).
Kasparian didn’t hold back. She described how Azerbaijan launched a brutal military offensive in 2020 to retake the Armenian-majority region. “They [Azerbaijan] engaged in ethnic cleansing,” she said. “They were forced out if they weren’t killed.”
She detailed how ancient churches were bombed, entire communities displaced, and thousands of ethnic Armenians forced to flee to Armenia — a small, landlocked nation already strained by its geography and history.
Global Silence and Media Neglect
When Carlson asked why the destruction of Christian churches wasn’t drawing international outrage, Kasparian was blunt: “American media doesn’t care about Armenia. Armenians don’t have a powerful lobby that can bribe our politicians to care about them.”
Israel’s Role in the Conflict
Perhaps the most provocative moment came when Kasparian addressed Israel’s sale of weapons to Azerbaijan, which she said were used in the 2020 assault on Artsakh. Carlson, visibly taken aback, asked for confirmation multiple times.
