#LIVESTREAMING: US Vice President Vance and Pashinyan are delivering statements
Leading independent charitable and humanitarian organizations in Armenia have sent an open letter to the Vice President of the United States, J.D. Vance, ahead of his visit to Armenia, urging attention to the plight of Armenian individuals who remain in detention in Azerbaijan.
The “Review” project aired on 168 TV of “168 Hours” hosted John Eibner, an American human rights activist and president Christian Solidarity International (CSI) human rights organization, and Erich Vontobel, a member of the Swiss National Council, during their visit to Yerevan on the topic of “The state of religious freedom and the protection of human rights in Armenia”.
It is ironic that Tecimer thinks it is wrong for the ANCA to criticize Israel for arming Azerbaijan, since the US supports Israel. Meanwhile, Tecimer is doing exactly what she criticizes ANCA for. Since Pres. Erdogan is harshly critical of Israel, she should follow her own advice and not go against the policies of her government.
Dear Mr. Vice President, In your remarkable book “Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and a Culture in Crisis,” you wrote about your people: “An intense sense of loyalty, a fierce dedication to family and country.”

In recent months, there have been several references to an important book in Armenian published by Turkologist Dr. Ruben Safrastyan in Yerevan in 2019. The book is titled: “Mustafa Kemal: The Struggle Against the Republic of Armenia, 1919-1921.”
A global civil society initiative advocating for the release of Armenian hostages and the protection of fundamental human rights has launched an international campaign urging eligible Nobel Peace Prize nominators to use their moral authority to reaffirm the primacy of international law and accountability.
Speaking in an interview with “168 Hours”, Dr. John Eibner, an American human rights activist and president of Christian Solidarity International (CSI) human rights organization, stated that the actions by Nikol Pashinyan’s government against the leadership of the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church and the Catholicos of All Armenians are fundamental violations of religious freedom, and the Armenian Prime Minister has no legal business interfering in the internal affairs of the Church.
The Lemkin Institute calls on the Armenian government to immediately cease all politically motivated actions against the clergy and to reaffirm its commitment to the constitutional principles of religious freedom and pluralism. The Institute further urges international observers and human rights organizations to monitor developments in Armenia closely, recognizing that the erosion of religious institutions has historically preceded broader campaigns of societal fragmentation and identity erasure.
