Au classement mondial 2025 de la liberté de la presse de Reporters sans frontières, l'Arménie, 34ème sur 180 pays, progresse encore. Elle s'affirme comme un havre de liberté dans la région.

➡️ En soutenant l'Arménie, nous soutenons une démocratie qui partage nos valeurs.

Géorgie, Arménie, Ukraine, Moldavie, chacune menacées dans leur intégrité territoriale, chacune cibles par des manœuvres de déstabilisation, font le choix de l’Europe 🇪🇺; la France joue un rôle majeur dans leur rapprochement avec l’Union européenne.

Azerbaijan has enjoyed relative impunity for its violent conquest of Nagorno-Karabakh.

The world’s democracies must show there are consequences for such atrocities, lest they empower Eurasia's emerging autocratic order.

Armenians who fled Nagorno-Karabakh now fear another war. They hear Azerbaijan's Pres. Aliyev's speak of Armenia being "Western Azerbaijan" and see it as a sign of imminent invasion. But Baku says their fears are unfounded. My report with @BBCTimWhewell https://t.co/vB2zxzxWeL

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

“Since April 2 we had not heard his voice… Tragically, we found out he had been on a hunger strike since April 5”. After Azerbaijan took over Nagorno-Karabakh, fmr. leader Ruben Vardanyan was arrested on terrorism charges and his son David alleges “a complete lack of transparency.”

Imagine a nation uniting around one project and fighting for it for 30 years, sacrificing thousands of lives. What happens, then, when it ends in a total defeat? @BBCTimWhewell and I travelled to Armenia to find out. On @BBCsounds & all podcast platforms https://t.co/frXwnC7XDh

Today marks the first time since the year 301 when Easter is not celebrated in Nagorno-Karabakh. Here is a photo from the last celebration — in 2023 — during #ArtsakhBlockade

Iran is also concerned Baku could forcibly seize territory in southern Armenia to create territorial continuity with Naxcivan, which would cut off Tehran from Yerevan, an ally.
