#FreeArmenianHostages
As we celebrate Armenian Independence Day, at least 23 of our compatriots remain illegally imprisoned in the dungeons of Azerbaijan - a member state of the Council of Europe and @COP29_AZ host country.
The sin of those Armenians is the fight for freedom, their desire to live a dignified life in the land of their ancestors. This remarkable day is theirs at least as much as it is ours. For this reason, now I would like to read out the names of our compatriots who, being deprived of freedom, are missing out on the opportunity to celebrate this solemn day.
@rickymes@UNArmenia@MFAofArmenia@UNESCAP@UNECOSOC Thank you Riccardo for all the support provided throughout all these years: this is the 3rd time you are supporting Armenia #VNR through #ESCAP, and it’s incredibly appreciated.
Looking forward to telling the Armenian story in the most eloquent and informative way.
Trial show in #Azerbaijan:
The trial of 68-year-old Vagif Khachatryan in Baku, solely because he is Armenian and was born in #Artsakh/#NagornoKarabakh, is an alarming display of injustice. His abduction and subsequent trial underscore the failure of the world justice system.
Seyran still doesn’t know that his two older brothers, Mikael, 8, and Nver, 10, were killed by Azerbaijani indiscriminate shelling of their village of Sarnaghbyur in #NagornoKarabakh on 19/09/23.
#StopArtsakhGenocide
According to Chatham House expert, Karabakh Armenians’ fears have a precedent. While Baku wants to avoid allegations of atrocities, “we have this history that when 🇦🇿soldiers have come across some Armenian civilians, they have been murdered. There’s a climate of impunity.”
This operation by AZ is flagrant violation of IHL: arrest of person under protection of IHL & @ICRC is nothing short of war crime. It is also aimed at completely blocking ICRC activities in NK in parallel w/blockade of #LachinCorridor &denial of access of other humanitarian orgs.
UIS is doing an incredible job in systematically collecting and analyzing data on Education, Science and Culture all around the 🌍. Most of the internationals and governments use UIS data for their policy making. Serving at @UNESCOstat Governing Board is an honor and privilege.
Our governing board’s Policy and Planning Committee endorsed the new innovative data production strategy, aimed to ensure better data for monitoring #SDG4. @EthelAgnesPV#CarolNugaDeliwe@montoya_sil @dvedeler @lcrouch1952 @Anapioss

🇦🇲🇺🇳 High-level launch of the @UNECE Innovation for Sustainable Development Review #I4SDR of Armenia is underway with a distinguished panel discussing the findings!
Excited to hear valuable perspectives on Armenia's innovation ecosystem!
Today I was at the Lachin corridor that links Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia.
It is currently blocked by Azerbaijanis, leaving 120,000 residents without access to essential goods.
The EU must push Azerbaijan to lift the blockade. If not, we risk a humanitarian catastrophe.
Tragic consequences of decades long Armenophobic hate propaganda by the racist Aliyev regime. After losing the fight, instead of shaking the extended hand of the #Armenia|n athlete, #Azerbaijan|i participant punches his rival.
@CIJ_ICJ
For the 2nd day 🇦🇿 keeps the only corridor connecting #NagornoKarabakh to the rest of the world closed. Additionally, the government of #Azerbaijan cuts the gas supply in the middle of winter. This is a Humanitarian crisis. Meanwhile, EU happily buys gas from them.
Armenia/Azerbaijan:🇪🇺 follows w/serious concern situation around #Lachin corridor;calls on 🇦🇿 to ensure freedom & security of movement in line with the 3lateral statement of November‘20.🇪🇺 also concerned by reports of 🇦🇿 cutting off gas supply to Karabakh https://t.co/chkcnlteCw

I Fear 4 Armenians.
No 1 Protects Them From Azerbaijan.
Armenia HAS NO OIL,& Azerbaijani Are ALREADY KILLING THEM‼️When I Visited Yerevan I Went 2 Orphanages Where ARMENIAN CHILDREN HAD NO PARENTS,BECAUSE
THEY WERE
MASSACRED BY AZERBAIJANI.THE 🌏SAID NOTHING,THEY HAD OIL
There is a new video of Azerbaijani soldiers executing Armenian prisoners they have just captured. The Armenian POWs are fully healthy and are gunned down in front of several dozen Azerbaijani soldiers. This is likely from Azerbaijan's September 13-14 assault into Armenia.
2 hours ago Azerbaijani military started targeted shootings at Yeraskh community of #Armenia (Ararat province) & deliberately set 🔥 to civilian properties. This is direct result of #Azerbaijani authorities #genocidal & #fascist policy. #securityzone is a must!! @OmbudsArmenia
Today as we celebrate the educator role of #teachers it is crucial to note the heavy burden our times and changing environment has put on them. Teaching has become a high-stress occupation, leading to educator burnout and eventual instructor dropout. https://t.co/kxH3HHpb4t
