The #EU is Israel's largest trading partner, accounting for 30% of its trade in goods. The EU-ISR economic agreement stipulates 'respect for human rights' (art 2). The #ICJ's recognition of the risk of Genocide obliges the EU to suspend the agreement. policy.trade.ec.europa.eu/eu-trade-relat…

My husband, Ruben Vardanyan, the philanthropist, businessman, and former Minister of State of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) was arrested and detained by the Azerbaijani authorities at the border this morning as he tried to leave with thousands of Armenians.

We have a corrupt Russian-financed government giving oligarchs time to sell up while refusing asylum to Ukrainian refugees. It is beyond sickening, beyond enraging. The combination of greed, callousness, incompetence & daylight larceny has gone way too far. They must go.
