6 🇦🇲 political parties affiliated with 🇪🇺 political families have jointly addressed a letter to the leadership of the 🇪🇺, participants of the upcoming European Political Community (EPC) Summit in Yerevan, and the heads of their respective political families. Full text 👇

Armen Ashotyan, vice chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia, held a protest outside the European Union mission in support of 18-year-old Davit Minasyan and issued a statement in his defense. The case stems from an incident inside St. Anna Church on Palm Sunday involving Nikol Pashinyan and members of his security detail. Following the incident, Minasyan was placed in pre-trial detention for two months.

More than 40 political prisoners in “democratic” Armenia. Nikol Pashinyan is mutating into autocrat with unprecedented velocity and under silent de facto approval from 🇪🇺 institutions. Speak 🗣️ out ! #EPP #PoliticalPrisoners #dictatorship #freedom #Euronest #AFET #Republicans

“Pashinyan or war” is a Fake Narrative says @Armen_Ashotyan - The 🇦🇲Opposition plan: impeachment math, street mobilization,why unity matters before 2026 - Unpacking TRIPP & the $145M US funding ▶️ Full episode: youtu.be/T7fyNOIjUhg With @HovikYerevan & @qubriq #TRIPP #TrumpCorridor #PoliticalPrisoners #Artsakh #NagornoKarabakh #VoteOfNoConfidence

Armen Ashotyan, Vice President of the Republican Party of Armenia and Minister of Education and Science from 2009 to 2016, remains one of the most outspoken critics of Nikol Pashinyan. Although under court restrictions, he continues to engage actively in political debates, focusing on democracy, justice, and the role of the opposition. In this interview, Ashotyan discusses how modern authoritarian regimes, including Armenia, use non-violent but highly effective tools to silence dissent. He argues that Pashinyan openly dismantles constitutional checks and balances and misuses administrative power not only against political rivals but also against independent voices from the Church, the Diaspora, and wider society. He speaks candidly about political prisoners, the fractured opposition, and growing concerns over justice. Watch the full interview for his unfiltered perspective.

Open and intensive discussion about outcomes of so-called “revolution”, mistakes of the former administration and sins of the current government. youtu.be/ekhTG5Rxz4k

We express our strong concern related to the installation by #Azerbaijan of a checkpoint on the #LachinCorridor in 23/04/2023. This can be seen as a clear violation of the ceasefire statement of 09/11/2020 & act of disrespect of the Intl. Court of Justice ruling in 22/02/2023.

As we commemorate the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, we affirm our steadfast commitment for the Armenian people. It is our solemn obligation to uphold the remembrance of the victims and persist in our tireless efforts to attain justice.

🇦🇲 genocide commemoration day this year has another utmost significance: intl community has no right to fail in preventing another ongoing genocide of 🇦🇲 people, this time in Nagorno Karabakh. 🇦🇿-🇹🇷 duo nowadays is consistently implementing a genocidal policy towards NK Armenians

Today we stand in solidarity with the Armenian people. It's our duty to preserve their memory with dignity, and strive for justice. We urge Turkey to acknowledge the reality of the past and take steps towards genuine reconciliation, paving the way for a peaceful future.

My open letter to the EU special representative to South Caucasus Mr @ToivoKlaar about the recent Azerbaijani attacks on Armenian borders and the role of EU monitoring mission. Available in Armenian and in Russian: news.am/arm/news/75429…

#SummitForDemocracy , authoritarian and corrupted 🇦🇿 is brewing another war both against Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh and you have nothing to say in your final declaration??? Yes, Nikol Pashinyan is a lame 🐤, but where is a respect towards🇦🇲people and your own worshiped values?

The future of real European politics - value-based, smart and brave generation, thank you!

@ToivoKlaar strange maths to celebrate second anniversary of CEPA signed in Nov 2017. Provisional implementation of CEPA started in 2018. Falsifications of the 🇦🇲 political history are an attribute for current 🇦🇲 gov, so my friendly advice is: be well aware of this fact.

KAS South Caucasus director Mr Stephan Malerius hosted by President Serzh Sargsyan in the HQ of the Republican party of Armenia.

‼️ #artsakhblockade : Day 100‼️ 📢 Share and spread the word‼️ The Echoes of #Eternity! #Artsakh is calling us!

🇦🇿 pseudo eco-activist,blocking Lachin corridor in Nagorno Karabakh,is willing to kill 🇦🇲 and put his🩸in kebab tor celebration of Novruz. Almost 100 days 120000 citizens of #Artsakh are hostages of geopolitical immoral games in S.Caucasus. No papers, act, finally!

I applaud your courage and dedication @ZovkoEU . @EP_ForeignAff congratulations on your another success. Very grateful to our political family @EPPGroup .

Recent report of @Europarl_EN on 🇦🇿 is one of the best and comprehensive analyses why the fate of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh can’t be put under @presidentaz regime. Corrupted,antidemocratic,bloody autocrat should not be ever allowed to perpetrate new crimes against humanity.
