+ Sevan, a prolific writer, linguist and historian, fled his native Turkey in 2017 to escape persecution. He has lived quietly since in a remote village of Samos. He is married to Ira, a Greek citizen. He also holds Armenian citizenship.
+No further details have been given. He believes that the local police of Samos is responsible for the decree, motivated by the racist and xenophobic paranoia which has gripped the Greek islands during the refugee crisis of recent years.
Sevan Nişanyan was arrested on December 30th by the Greek authorities. He is being held in custody in the island of Samos pending deportation -probably, but not certainly- to Armenia.
Sevan has been ordered out of Greece on grounds of “national security”. +

Sometimes an image captures all you need to know about a war. This is one such image: in the recently shelled church in Karabakh, a cellist plays a composition by Gomidas, a priest who suffered in the Genocide of 1915.
RIGHT NOW: Google this Fox News headline: "Century-old genocide looms large for Armenians as Turkey weighs in on Nagorno-Karabakh."
It's gone.
Censored.
Taken down.
Tweet them at @FoxNews.
I refuse to believe that world leaders don’t know exactly what’s happening between Armenia and Azerbaijan. They know everything down to the smallest details. There is too much intelligence at their disposal to not know. They’re CHOOSING to be silent. #StopAzerbaijaniAggresion
