POV: my fixer beats the Artsakhi men in nardi (backgammon). It's 10 days before Azerbaijan executed the final military attack in September 2023. The men were stuck "on the wrong side" of the blockade.
Azerbaijan’s oil-rich regime got nearly $1 Billion 🇺🇸 aid since 2003.
Now they don’t like USAID…
Interestingly, the regime that spends
$ BILLIONS on buying arms, needed $3 MLN of US taxpayers’ money in 2023 to feed their people while they were busy starving 120K Armenians…
German authorities must stop their crackdown on speech and protests and the discriminatory restriction of freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.

Kanzler Scholz zum Thema Völkermord in Gaza und dem IGH: "Ich lasse mich auf diese Debatte nicht ein, weil ich die juristische Einschätzung habe, dass das eine falsche Beurteilung wäre. Es macht gar keinen Sinn sich damit zu befassen [...] Der Völkermord-Vorwurf ist absurd"
The Azerbaijani government intensified its crackdown against domestic critics even as it hosted the UN Climate Change Conference COP29 in November. #Rights2025 https://t.co/RRpNMRXX4w
This is Gurgen, whom I've known since childhood. His parents are from my hometown. He lived in #Artsakh and was captured on Sept 19, 2023, due to #Azerbaijan's genocidal actions. Now he's being tried on false charges with Artsakh's leaders. #FreeArmenianHostages#FreeArmenianPOWs
⚡️ Just In: President @Zourabichvili_S is in Washington, D.C., and will attend Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20. According to Zurabishvili’s press office, high-level bilateral meetings are also planned during her working visit to D.C. Disclaimer: The photo attached is from 2019, published by Zurabishvili.
We welcome the signing of the US-Armenia Strategic Partnership Commission Charter as a testament to Armenia’s continued progress and commitment to democratic development.
We urge the Armenian government to advance the reforms it has pledged to undertake, including the adoption of an anti-discrimination law.
This is a great analysis, indeed. The convergence of Russian and Azerbaijani disinformation narratives about Armenia is an issue we’ve discussed for quite some time. It’s systematically examined in the piece. I’m really glad to see non-Armenians paying attention to this issue
Selbstinfantilisierung, gepaart mit brutalem (Ersatz)nationalismus, verpackt in Moral. Das beschreibt leider einen Gutteil der außenpolitischen Debatte im Land.
#TerrorinGeorgia: Self-proclaimed PM Irakli Kobakhidze announced that the illegitimate parliament plans to pass a law banning participants in protests from covering their faces in various forms. It is worth remembering that gas masks are the only way for citizens to survive at the protests. Meanwhile government linked thugs who beat people up have their faces fully covered and are dressed in black to avoid being identified.
The Nordic-Baltic countries 🇸🇪🇫🇮🇩🇰🇳🇴🇮🇸🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹 met with Armenian Foreign Minister @AraratMirzoyan for a good conversation on regional issues and support for Armenia’s resilience. I am glad we could meet in the #NB8 setting! https://t.co/T9pSgWf9UA
These kind of revelations are so needed for democratic progress. Demanding that people in charge to behave, and to spend the money well, is a necessity.
