Federal Judge Robert Huie had no choice but to dismiss Baghirzade’s lawsuit, stating: “Anything short of dismissal in these circumstances would disserve the interests of justice.”
Pashinyan’s recent comments on the Genocide are, at a minimum, condemnable and unacceptable. For an Armenian leader to distort or downplay the greatest tragedy in our history is a betrayal of the highest order. It should send a chill through every Armenian who has carried the weight of memory for generations.
On April 8, 2025, an exhibition entitled “Western Azerbaijan: In Our Cultural Memory”, organized by the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Poland in Warsaw, became yet another manifestation of Azerbaijan’s ongoing campaign of falsification and propaganda. This initiative reflects Azerbaijan’s territorial claims toward the Republic of Armenia and its attempts to appropriate the centuries-old spiritual and cultural heritage of the Armenian people.
United States president Donald Trump announced his promised tariffs on imports on April 2, branded as “reciprocal tariffs” that classifies nations based on tariffs to supposedly balance trade balance with the United States.
In the current phase of the Armenia-Azerbaijan talks, Baku is demanding that Yerevan adopt a new constitution that removes any language which could be interpreted as a claim to Nagorno-Karabakh. The appropriate response from any self-respecting Armenian government should be clear and firm: “That is none of your business.”
Pashinyan’s claims that before him there were no official contacts between Armenia and Turkey are completely false. He wants to leave the impression that nothing happened in Armenia before he assumed power in 2018. There have been dozens of contacts between the officials of the two countries long before Pashinyan became Prime Minister. Here are some of them:
Today, the Council of States—the upper house of the Swiss Federal Assembly—adopted Motion No. 24.4259 titled “Peace Forum for Nagorno-Karabakh: Enabling the Return of Armenians.” With 29 of its 46 members voting in favor, the Council endorsed the initiative urging Swiss authorities to establish a dedicated forum for dialogue between representatives of Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan. The aim of this Swiss-led effort is to facilitate the safe, collective, and dignified return of the displaced Armenian population to their ancestral homeland.
In what can only be described as a tragicomic nadir of modern Armenian diplomacy, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has once again revealed the full extent of his political incompetence, strategic myopia, and astonishing readiness to capitulate—for no higher cause than the preservation of his own authority. His recent announcement, celebrating the conclusion of negotiations on a so-called “peace agreement” with Azerbaijan, should not be mistaken for a diplomatic achievement. It is, in fact, the clearest admission yet that Pashinyan has completely surrendered the Armenian national interest at the negotiating table.
During a phone call relayed through his family, Ruben Vardanyan sent two audio messages from a Baku prison: he requested that one be published today and the other on Sunday. He also stated that his next statement will only be made at the final court session — and only if representatives of the international community are present.
Pashinyan will depart from his office someday, but the damage he leaves behind for Armenia and Armenians will last for decades. That is why, the sooner he steps down, the better for Armenia.
