We are writing to you with deep concern regarding the health condition of Ruben Vardanyan, who has been on a hunger strike for over a week while being held in a Baku prison, as well as the situation of other Armenian political prisoners who are being illegally prosecuted in Azerbaijan.
Ruben Vardanyan and all our other hostages and captives are being brutally tortured through fabricated Azerbaijani trials, aimed at fulfilling the Azerbaijani authorities’ thirst for revenge, resolving political issues, asserting their power at the expense of the Armenian people’s dignity, undermining our national consciousness, and deepening tension and division among us. These “trials” are necessary […]
The Genesis Armenia Think Tank/Foundation strongly condemns the prosecution and potential life imprisonment attempt against Ruben Vardanyan by the authorities in Baku.
“If we do not stand up now, we are putting future generations of Armenians at risk”: Ruben Vardanyan’s Son Calls for Action
It is critical that Armenian voters reject the new constitution. A no vote is a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister. He can no longer continue to remain in his position after having been rejected by the people on his key initiative. He will have no choice but to resign.
This so-called ‘trial’ is not just against me. It is an attempt to criminalize all Armenians – all those who supported and demonstrated compassion toward Artsakh and its people, all those who showed compassion. This is an attack on an entire nation. I refuse to participate in this farce.
I am certain that the next nationalistic government of Armenia will declare that all of Pashinyan’s verbal or signed agreements, commitments and statements violate Armenia’s laws. Therefore, they are null and void. Pres. Erdogan of Turkey and Pres. Aliyev of Azerbaijan should not waste their time demanding concessions from Pashinyan, because anything he concedes to them will be reversed by the next Armenian government.
Today as part of the “Dipomat” program Dr. Arthur Khachikyan, Doctor of Political Science, Stanford University, spoke with Dr. Glenn Diesen, Professor at the University of Southeast Norway (USN) and an associate editor at the Journal “Russia in Global Affairs”.
One of the things that I wanted to talk about today is, of course, our shared values. And, you know, it’s great to be back in Germany. As you heard earlier, I was here last year as United States senator. I saw Foreign Secretary David Lammy, and joked that both of us last year had different jobs than we have now. But now it’s time for all of our countries, for all of us who have been fortunate enough to be given political power by our respective peoples, to use it wisely to improve their lives.
