"Union for Protection of the Interests & Rights of the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) People" (Artsakh Union) grassroots advocacy NGO.
Headed by @Artak_Beglaryan.
Sustainable peace in the region is impossible until the rights of the people of Artsakh are restored and state-sponsored anti-Armenian hatred is eradicated.
The executive branches of the EU must now move beyond geopolitical interests to uphold these benchmarks. โ๏ธ

Ahead of JDVanceโs visit to Armenia & Azerbaijan, the Artsakh Union & 20+ NGOs have issued an open letter calling for U.S. support to free 19 Armenian Christian prisoners held in Baku. ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐บ๐ธ
True peace is impossible without trust and the return of all hostages.
The letter highlights the unique role of Donald Trumpโs administration in facilitating the peace process and protecting persecuted Christians.
We urge the U.S. to take steps to end the suffering of families and ensure these prisoners are reunited with their loved ones.
The Artsakh Union expects rapid and tangible results, such as the release of all Armenian prisoners.

The Artsakh Union has issued a formal protest note to governments whose officials participated in the ECO Summit held on July 3โ4 in occupied Stepanakert.
Their presence risks legitimizing the consequences of ethnic cleansing and cultural erasure.
