The absence of reliable information about his condition and the condition of other 🇦🇲 prisoners,combined with the dismantling of independent human rights mechanisms in 🇦🇿 – including the departure of the —leaves all prisoners without any protection
@kajakallas, as Europe stands for democracy and human rights, let’s not forget: 23 Armenian hostages are still illegally held in Baku.
They’ve been in Azerbaijani prisons for months—political prisoners of an authoritarian regime.

Welcome home, Théo Clerc.
His release from Azerbaijan shows what quiet diplomacy and respectful engagement can achieve.
I am relieved his detention is over and I’ll continue doing my part to support our citizens abroad.
Today, on April 24, we pay our tribute to the memory of the Armenian victims of 1915-1923 . This day is a reminder, that we must do all within our power to prevent such atrocities from occurring again. #NeverAgain#NeverForget#WeRemember
Le ministre de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères, M. Jean-Noël Barrot, à son arrivée à la réunion des ministres européens des Affaires étrangères à Luxembourg.
➡️ "S’agissant de l’Azerbaïdjan, je suis très préoccupé par la montée des tensions à la frontière. Je souhaite que la mission européenne déployée sur place puisse se démultiplier pour être en capacité d’observer et de contenir ces tensions. Le traité de paix doit désormais être signé et les détenus arbitraires, les prisonniers, doivent être libérés."
President Trump @POTUS has vowed to defend the rights of Christians worldwide.
Yet 23 Christian Armenians remain imprisoned in Azerbaijan — hostages of Aliyev’s regime.
When will they be freed? Their lives matter too.

American Ksenia Karelina is on a plane back home to the United States.
She was wrongfully detained by Russia for over a year and President Trump secured her release. @POTUS will continue to work for the release of ALL Americans.
The moral price of our energy: Armenia’s Christians and Catholic conscience
Last week, #Azerbaijan expelled the @ICRC
By our silence, we become complicit in the violation of fundamental human rights that our faith calls us to defend https://t.co/31vLA5G5cf

From his prison cell, Ruben Vardanyan’s call for true and lasting peace
Despite more than 500 days of illegal imprisonment, Ruben Vardanyan's voice remains unbroken as he advocates for a peace grounded in fundamental human values, based on dignity, creating a foundation for genuine coexistence in the South Caucasus. Vardanyan sent an audio message from the Baku isolation ward through his family, requesting that the phone conversation be recorded and made public. He calls for a “real, stable, long-term peace – not just on a paper, but one that is sustainable and is adhered to by all people”.
The full audio version of the message is available here https://t.co/v4Kw84IGTc
Thank you @unhumanrights@volker_turk for your unequivocal report to the @un_hrc today making clear: “All those arbitrarily detained in #Azerbaijan, including ethnic Armenians, must be released immediately.” Free @RubenVardanyan_ @freearmenianprisoners

These photos show clear signs of violence against detained #Artsakh/#NagornoKarabakh leaders in Baku.
🚨 Bako Sahakyan, former President, appears to have missing teeth.
🚨 Ruben Vardanyan, former State Minister, has visible bruises on his face.
Intl orgs should step up!
The pain and injustice inflicted on my long time friend and partner, Ruben Vardanyan, by the Azeri regime is unbearable to witness. It is time for all Armenians to raise their voice, especially the leadership of the Armenian Republic. If not us…who? If not now…when? @NikolPashinyan
