We envision a world where justice and human rights prevail, perpetrators are held accountable by international law, the rule of law and humanism are upheld.
Human Rights Orgs and communities join HAYREN to urge the @CanadaFP & other states for immediate action to stop the GENOCIDE in #Artsakh by #SanctionAzerbaijan , facilitating humanitarian access to Artsakh, and recognizing the self-determination rights of Artsakh's population
Je suis absolument ravie d'avoir été nommée pour être la prochaine ambassadrice du Canada en Arménie. C'est un grand honneur !
Bien hâte d'oeuvrer au renforcement des relations bilatérales 🇨🇦🇦🇲et de faire progresser nos initiatives communes.
À bientôt à Erevan @CanadaArmenie !
The largest Azerbaijani population in Soviet Armenia was recorded in 1979: 160,841 people (5.3%).
The largest Armenian population in Soviet Azerbaijan, incl. Nagorno-Karabakh, was recorded in 1970: 483,520 people (nearly 10%).
Don’t circulate Azerbaijan’s fake 300,000 number.
The @ICJ_org report:
The trials of former Nagorno-Karabakh leaders expose “broader structural issues” in Azerbaijan.
Armenians reportedly faced torture, coerced confessions, racist abuse, mistranslation in court & “trials” devoid of impartiality/fairness.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: https://t.co/aMMHId49OO
Ադրբեջանական դիրքերը Ջերմուկի ուղղությամբ (ՀՀ տարածքում)
1/ Նիկոլ Փաշինյանը, հավանաբար, Ջերմուկ այցի ժամանակ վերջապես ցույց ա տվել նման մի քարտեզ, որ տեղացիները հասկանան՝ դիրքերի մասով ինչ ա կատարվել/ կատարվում էս մասում։ (2022-ից ի վեր չի հրապարակվել)։

Վերադարձ հիշողության և պարտականության այս վայր՝ անջնջելիին հանդիման։ Որպեսզի յուրաքանչյուր անուն արձագանք գտնի և մոռացության չմատնվի։
Ֆրանսիան հավերժ կանգնած է հայ ժողովրդի կողքին լի հարգանքով առ ապրած ցեղասպանության հիշատակը և խլված բազմաթիվ կյանքերը:
De retour en ce lieu de mémoire et de devoir, face à l’imprescriptible. Pour que résonne chaque nom et pour que l’oubli s’éloigne.
À jamais, la France se tient aux côtés du peuple arménien, avec respect et en mémoire du génocide subi et de tant de destins volés.
Israel's mass slaughter in Gaza, enabled by the US, was a moral outrage. And now, as the @nytimes reports, Israel is applying the Gaza model in Lebanon -- and once again we Americans are enabling this moral catastrophe. https://t.co/1xkN7hECMu
Met with my Armenian counterpart to advance Canada–Armenia economic ties. With nearly 60,000 Armenian Canadians, our people-to-people connections are a strong foundation to grow trade, attract investment, and create new opportunities in both countries. We’re focused on inclusive growth and long-term stability in the South Caucasus.
@AnitaAnandMP@VahanKostanyan Thank you, Minister Anand, for always protecting human rights and honoring the memory of millions of Armenians killed by Turks during the Armenian Genocide. To this day, Turkey illegally occupies Armenian territories.
Ce matin, aux côtés du sous-ministre des Affaires étrangères de l’Arménie, @VahanKostanyan, j’ai visité le Mémorial du génocide arménien à Erevan, en Arménie. Un moment pour rendre hommage, honorer et se souvenir.
Landed in Yerevan, Armenia, for the 8th European Political Community Summit. This is the first time a non-European nation has taken part.
Bound by shared values, Canada is working with our European partners to create more certainty, security, and prosperity for all our peoples.
Watch the video for details on the case of the 7 Armenian hostages incarcerated in Baku that are demanding to be released. Their families and lawyers have appealed to the UN for Immediate Release, Condemning Convictions by Azerbaijan as Arbitrary (2/2) #FreeArmenianHostages
In Armenia, one road changed everything: visitors to Marmashen Monastery went from 3,000 to more than 40,000 a year.
More tourists now mean fuller cafés, steady jobs, and families choosing to stay—or even return home to rebuild their lives. https://t.co/g5UIOy1EaF
Attended the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Canada was one of the first nations to recognize the genocide. As the world becomes more conflicted and violent, speaking the truth about the tragedies of the past can help prevent them from being repeated in the future and can be a first step toward reconciliation and peaceful coexistence.

It's sad. Many of these Turks have not been told the facts:

Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day is about demanding truth, justice, and recognition. The lands of Western Armenia, occupied by Turkey, belong to the Armenian people.

Aujourd’hui, nous nous joignons aux communautés arméniennes au Canada et ailleurs dans le monde pour marquer le Jour commémoratif du génocide arménien.
Nous rendons hommage à tous ceux qui ont enduré une souffrance inimaginable durant ce chapitre sombre de l’histoire. En nous souvenant de cette tragédie, nous nous engageons à rester vigilants pour que ces atrocités ne se reproduisent plus jamais.
