🇦🇲 ⛓️‍💥May 28 is not only the story of Armenia’s independence.
It is the story of a people who, through resistance, sacrifice, and determination at Sardarabad, Gharakilisa, and Bash Abaran, reclaimed the right to build a state of their own.

⚠️972 days.

972 days since Davit Ishkhanyan was taken from his family, his people, and his homeland.

⛓️Behind every Armenian hostage is a human story.

📣Davit belongs with his family — not behind prison walls.

📣Don’t just vote. Vote effectively.

Support the political force that reflects your values and has a realistic path to representation. Otherwise, your voice may not be heard where the country’s decisions are made.
🗳️On election day, show up. Vote.
#ElectionsArmenia #VoteArmenia

[ARF Youth Office @ARFYouthOffice]

🇦🇲🗳️ Your future will be shaped by the decisions made after these elections—whether you participate or not.

🔺Voting isn’t about loyalty to politicians. It’s about your voice, your opportunities, your security, and the Armenia you want to live in.

Is Prime Minister Pashinyan preparing to concede more land to Azerbaijan?

The issue of enclaves has resurfaced, raising serious concerns about Armenia’s national security, sovereignty, and regional connectivity.

During the Soviet era, both republics had small territories completely surrounded by the other. By the early 1990s, the old system ceased to exist in practice, and for decades, the issue was considered closed. Today, the Armenian government is referencing the 1991 Alma-Aata Declaration to reopen border delimitation using old Soviet maps.

These territories are not just dots on a map. They sit directly on Armenia’s vital interstate highways. Ceding them could create critical military chokeholds inside our borders.

While the government frames this as a path to "peace" or an even exchange for Artsvashen, security experts warn these areas would serve little civilian purpose for Azerbaijan and would instead become hostile military outposts.

This is not a step toward peace; it is a policy of appeasement that puts Armenia’s core infrastructure, sovereignty, and safety at risk.

Standing strong with @AYFDCAni alumna U. Areni Margossian - who continues her service to our community and Cause - undeterred by the shameful ban of entry to the Armenian Homeland.

[ARF Youth Office @ARFYouthOffice]

We condemn the ban on entry to #Armenia imposed for 2 years now by the Pashinyan regime against Areni Margosian, member of the YOARF of eastern #USA.
The motive behind this ban is purely political and forms part of the unfounded persecutions carried out against opposition forces.

[AYF DC Ani @AYFDCAni]
