Today, January 17, the trial of Armenian prisoners, who have been illegally held in Baku prisons for more than a year on false charges, has begun.
The Azerbaijani authorities will use the “trials” regarding Ruben Vardanyan, Bako Sahakyan and our other compatriots to establish itself at the expense of the dignity of the Armenian people, to degrade our national consciousness, and to deepen the tension and division among us.
Thank you all for your support! I love and thank you all for your kindness toward me. Know that I am standing strong and believe that the truth will prevail.

In an unprecedented escalation of its ongoing crackdown on dissent, Azerbaijan prosecutors have unveiled a new and enormous array of some 45 potential charges against Armenian humanitarian and political prisoner Ruben Vardanyan, according to his legal team.
