A protest demanding the release of Armenian hostages and the protection of Artsakh rights took place outside the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concert Complex, coinciding with the European Political Community summit in the capital.
Demonstrators gathered near the venue holding placards addressed to both European leaders and Armenian authorities. Messages included: “Europe stands for human rights — prove it, free Armenian hostages,” “Government of Armenia, your silence is complicity. Protect your citizens,” “Freedom for Armenian Christian hostages,” and “Our families are not forgotten.”
Protesters outlined several key demands, including the return of Armenians held in Baku, the preservation of Armenian cultural heritage in Artsakh, and increased international attention to the rights of forcibly displaced Armenians from the region.
The demonstration unfolded as international leaders convened nearby, placing the issue of hostages and displaced populations into sharper focus during the high-level gathering.
@provemewrong411 This is an obvious fake created by the genocidal states of #Turkey and #Azerbaijan. Only manipulators or useful idiots can relay and not delete this ridiculous propaganda.
Communiqué de l’Association de soutien à l’Artsakh (#NagornoKarabakh) sur le droit au retour des Arméniens d’Artsakh, notamment reconnu par la @CIJ_ICJ en 2023
➡️ Nier le droit au retour d’un peuple victime d’une épuration ethnique, c’est accepter que le crime soit source de droit, c’est le contraire de la civilisation et c’est le plus sûr moyen de nous précipiter tous dans la guerre et le chaos
➡️ Il appartient à l’ensemble de la communauté internationale de défendre ce principe sans laisser à l’Arménie seule la responsabilité d’assurer la défense des droits légitimes du peuple d’#Artsakh
If #Armenia has not already taken such initiative, would be great if it could set up a drone warfare school too in collaboration with the most advanced countries in this field:

Right now, 23 illegally detained Armenian civilians and political leaders from Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) are being held in inhumane conditions in Azerbaijani prisons.

‘The Blue Boat’ (Hôtel du Département ),as Marseillais call it, now bears a massive banner on its façade commemorating the Armenian Genocide. For several weeks, the Département’s headquarters will highlight its strong commitment to remembrance and justice.

An EU candidate country in the process of ethnically cleansing and further occupying NE Syria while being one of the top jailers of journalists on earth at home
Speaking with the FM of the country currently working to ethnically cleanse more of NE Syria after helping the former Al-Qaeda affiliate become the new Syrian government speaks volumes about the importance the “international community” places on diversity and tolerance in Syria
With Turkey (and Azerbaijan) ramping up their illegal influence operations across the US, we need to crack down (not back off) on their bribery schemes.
Dropping charges against Mayor Adams risks normalizing Turkish corruption.
