On 19 September 2023, Azerbaijan ethnic cleansed Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians. Only few remained. Among them Karen Avanesyan, who was arrested ten days ago for "terrorism". Azerbaijani regime does not even tolerate five ethnic Armenians in Karabakh. oc-media.org/nagorno-kara...

I'm just back from a week in Ukraine. During one night, Russia fired 537 missiles and drones at the country - the largest total since 2022. Even a town far from the frontlines has row after row of graves for those killed by the invaders. It's heart-rending and enraging.

Among numerous celebrities and friends, Artak Beglaryan's testimony was deeply moving. Thank You to the Protestant Church of Switzerland, and World Council of Churches for your deep humanity, and for all the work you did for the cause of Karabakh, Artsakh people.

Lebanese-Armenian Vicken Euljekjian is illegally held in Baku, now for five years! He was in the wrong place at the wrong time in 2020, & sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. Vicken is on hunger-strike protesting. Reminder: there's no justice in Azerbaijan Freedom to Vicken & all Armenian prisoners!

Lebanon should be studied by the rest of the world, as a model NOT to follow. Fifty years to the start of the War in Lebanon, April 13, 1975.

A courageous step in dark times when fascism is fashion! The Swiss Federal Council recognised that Switzerland committed "crimes against humanity" in its violent assimilation of Yenishe and Manoushe/Sinti communities, over 2'000 children taken away from their families: www.admin.ch/gov/fr/accue...

Bahruz Samadov, Azerbaijani scholar and activist, started a hunger strike today. He is unjustly detained by Azerbaijani regime since August 2024, and accused of "treason" for his peace activism! For background: oc-media.org/when-advocat...

Ruben Vardanyan, the former state minister of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh), has declared a hunger strike to protest what he describes as a “judicial farce” being conducted against him in Azerbaijan. He conveyed this message in a brief phone call with his family.
