- 41 hospitals in the regions of Armenia, which will be closed by government decision, and 10 large medical centers will be opened in their place; - 21 hospitals and 13 outpatient clinics in Artsakh; A total of 525 educational and medical institutions in Armenia (RA and Artsakh).

After the elections, the authorities want to "optimize" the entire regional social infrastructure, centralizing everything in the regional centers and Yerevan. Let's also not forget how they "optimized" Artsakh.

I ask everyone to help disseminate this map. Details in description

[Hrant Mikaelian @hrant_m]

- 231 schools in the Republic of Armenia, which will be closed by government decision in 2026, merged into expanded schools, and villages will lose their only school; - 219 schools in Artsakh, which Armenian children can no longer attend because they were given over to the enemy;

[EuroPoll Statistics @euro_poll]

20 countries were read out to the participants one by one and this question ... do you recognize this country as a friendly nation to Türkiye’s? was asked.

As a result of the responses received, Azerbaijan ranked first with 94.2%and Armenia ranked last with 3.3%.

[Hrant Mikaelian @hrant_m]

@AdamMoczar Definitely no. But neither I do support his opponents. :D

[Hrant Mikaelian @hrant_m]

@AMK_Mapping_ nothing to discuss

[Hrant Mikaelian @hrant_m]

@D_abdulkader that 3.26 in Urfa are Arabs. Kurds have around 2.0 in average. Not that much difference.

[Art 🇦🇲 @artasovor_]

A n*kolakan is discussing with an Azeri how it’s in both of their interest to release Armenian hostages because it will give their guy, Pashinyan, “huge political points” to win the upcoming elections.

There have been no exaggerations in my speech.

Time is running out.

Ruben Vardanyan is in critical condition as his hunger strike reaches its 15th day, with his health rapidly deteriorating in illegal Azerbaijani detention. Yet, despite his worsening state, Azerbaijan continues to forcibly bring him to court, escalating concerns over his life-or-death situation.

Vardanyan has been subjected to prolonged isolation, denied water, and forced to stand for long periods of time, all while being deprived of independent medical care. A corrupt nation, Azerbaijan is blatantly violating a series of human and judicial rights while pursuing fabricated, baseless charges against him—accusations so absurd they are impossible to take seriously. His hunger strike is his final act of resistance.

All Armenian detainees, including Vardanyan, have been denied access to case materials and legal proceedings in languages they understand, further stripping them of any semblance of due process. International entities and media have been completely barred from communication or visits, ensuring that Azerbaijan’s abuses remain hidden from global scrutiny.

The world must act now. Armenians everywhere must demand that their governments take urgent steps to secure the release of Vardanyan and all illegally held Armenian hostages.

Freedom to all Armenian hostages!
