@CFTJustice@RubenVardanyan_@POTUS Publicly call for release and threaten sanctions by March 31, 2025.
@SecRubio Dispatch a high-level envoy to Baku, demanding Red Cross access to detainees.
Held hostage by Azerbaijan’s dictatorship, @RubenVardanyan_ is being punished simply for being Christian Armenian and defending freedom. Facing life in prison under President Ilham Aliyev’s regime, he endures relentless injustice and torture—yet his spirit remains unbroken.
--
17 days into his hunger strike, Ruben Vardanyan’s recent emotional voice message from his prison cell in Baku is a testament to his unwavering strength and determination. His fight is not just his own; it is for every Armenian POW, for every Armenian who has endured injustice and brutality at the hands of Azerbaijan.
He is a hero for freedom and democracy.
The international community must take urgent action and condemn Azerbaijan’s illegal trials and inhumane treatment of Armenian POWs—this blatant violation of human rights cannot be ignored.
Free Ruben Vardanyan.
Free ALL Armenian hostages.
Stay tuned for the full report on Ruben Vardanyan’s case.
Actually Russia was not arming Armenia for years, it was N 1 supplier of armaments to Azerbaijan instead before 2020 for more than 5 years.

Agreed!
#Russia was arming both #Armenia & #Azerbaijan for the past 30 years but lets see what Zakharova has to say:
“#Paris is inciting another round of armed confrontation in the South Caucasus”.(🇦🇲🇫🇷 CAESAR deal)
Reminder that Azerbaijan also blamed #France for this agreement.🇷🇺🇦🇿
Armenian MFA response to Azerbaijan: "It is the sovereign right of every state to maintain combat-capable armed forces equipped with modern military assets."
It also warns of a potential aggression by Azerbaijan after COP29 in Baku. https://t.co/tUS8wdmS1U
Today is the birthday of @RubenVardanyan_, who, together with other Artsakh leaders, is in Aliyev's jail for political reasons & for their struggle for rights & values.
My congrats to him, wishing for an early release & return to his homeland.
All hostages must be released!
Maybe in this very former shop in Stepanakert, where "peacekeepers" public reception was. Never saw it open.
It is symbolic that their office was in the area intended for the shop, they were doing "good business" in NK.
“When there is no hope in sight, the fools will find a way."
The "fools" of 1918—volunteer units fighting for Armenia's independence—carved a path for a people on the edge of extinction. They triumphed at Bash Aparan, Karakilisa, and Sardarapat, forging the first independent Armenian state in nearly 600 years.
These fools, survivors of near annihilation, stood their ground, fought fiercely, and defended their homeland to the last.
Today, the enemy remains, though faces have changed.
Once more, the fools must rise to defend their homeland against concessions, against the loss of land, and against a false "peace" imposed by hostile neighbors.

Azerbaijan KILLED 4 Armenians today. Deep inside Armenia.
In Jan, Aliyev did admit that AZE occupies some parts of Armenia (215sq km) after several incursions. Now he is killing our soldiers on our own soil.
Aliyev:
"So, of course, we aren't going back anywhere. Neither from the positions of May 2021 nor from the positions of Sept. 2022. We are not taking a step back because that border must be defined. However, our location, which is currently disputed by Armenia, does not include any settlement. The positions and heights where we stand have never been inhabited before."
NEW!!! U.S. ‘Concerned’ By Deadly Military Clashes Between Azerbaijan, Armenia
“The use of force undermines negotiations. The only way to a sustainable peace is at the negotiating table” DoS Spox tells me
Peace-loving democrat Saakashvili is suggesting to adopt the ethnic cleansing model from autocratic militaristic Azerbaijan for the EU aspirant Georgia, based on the abuse of the notion of territorial integrity by Azerbaijan based on false narratives.
On February 13, as a result of the actions of Azerbaijani armed forces in the direction of Nerkin Hand, the fundamental rights of the civilian population were violated.
The Armenian Ministry of Defense has officially announced the names of the Armenian soldiers who sacrificed their own lives, defending Armenia against Azerbaijan's recent assault in Nerkin Hand, Syunik.

May their souls rest in peace.

According to the statement of the State border guard service of Azerbaijan, tonight, they carried out the "Revenge" operation by attacking the border guard position located in the sovereign territory of Armenia, as a result of which two Armenian servicemen were killed and several others were injured.
First, Azerbaijan declares that there was fire from the Armenian side, as if there was a wounded person, then the Armenian side declares that it will investigate the incident, and the Azerbaijani side attacks and kills and injures people without waiting for any investigation, thus showing that they were prepared for an attack and were just looking for a cause.
Thus, it is obvious that Azerbaijan does not give up its "traditional" criminal, aggressive behavior and first spreads unchecked, one sided, fake news as if there was a shooting from the Armenian side, and then carries out a ready-made operation in the sovereign territory of Armenia, killing and distorting new lives.
This chain of criminal acts carried out by Azerbaijan must be stopped. The international community must condemn this chain of vile unprovoked actions carried out by Azerbaijan and call Azerbaijan to withdraw its occupational forces from more than 215 square kilometres of sovereign territory of Armenia, which is an aggression by virtue and provocation against Armenia. @SecBlinken@CharlesMichel@EmmanuelMacron@JosepBorrellF
The statement issued by the MoD of 🇦🇿,alleging that between 8:50p.m. and 11:40 p.m. on February 12 the units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of 🇦🇲 fired against the direction of Azerbaijani positions situated in the northeastern part of the border, does not align with reality
