The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) joins its affiliate in Armenia, the Union of Armenian journalists (UAJ), in condemning the campaign of insults and harassment launched by government supporters on social networks and in certain online media following Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan‘s press conference in Yerevan on 25 July, in a climate of tension following the events in Karabakh. We call on the Armenian authorities to publicly denounce these threats and to prosecute and punish the perpetrators.
The Union of Journalists of Armenia calls on all its colleagues, representatives of partner journalistic organizations, to act as real journalists at the forum organized in Shushi, to ask its organizers questions not only about the press of the future, but also, first of all, about the citizens, children, elderly, and people in general who were sentenced to death by them. Who should the media serve if not humans, even the cutting-edge new media?
The situation in Artsakh is getting worse very rapidly. The supply of all kinds of goods, including food and medicine, has been stopped for 34 days, Artsakh has been under siege for more than 7 months.
As a pan-European grassroots organization, representing a significant part of the Armenian diaspora in Europe, the EAFJD expresses its profound disappointment and indignation regarding President Charles Michel’s press remarks following the trilateral meeting with President Aliyev of Azerbaijan and Prime Minister Pashinyan of Armenia on 15 July, 2023.
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan attempted last month to distract attention from Armenia’s current tragic situation by blaming former Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian. This is a routine ploy used by Armenia’s current leader to cover up his defeat in the Artsakh War and failure to protect the country’s national interests.

The Union of Journalists of Armenia and the media in Armenia are launching the “Wake Up World! Prevent the Genocide in Artsakh! Stop the Blockade!” campaign. Through this campaign, we are raising our voices in defense of our compatriots in Artsakh.
Recent reports from various Armenian media outlets reveal that a number of Azerbaijani non-governmental organizations have submitted an appeal to the Armenian government, calling for the termination of Armenian mining projects. We have chosen not to respond to political provocations from Azerbaijan in depth due to their lack of substantive merit. It’s sufficient to highlight that the authors of this appeal demonstrate not only a deficiency in professional expertise but also a lack of regional geographical knowledge. They frequently refer to geographical locations that simply do not exist in Armenia, such as Gafan and Geycha.
