BREAKING: Ruben Vardanyan shares an emotional audio message from Baku’s isolation ward, recorded through a phone call and made public at his request. Speaking from prison, he thanks those who have supported him and emphasizes that his fight is not just personal but part of a larger struggle affecting all Armenians.
He condemns the manipulation of legal proceedings, calls for a fair and transparent trial, and warns against the illusion that his case will bring an end to broader challenges. Despite his imprisonment, he remains resolute in his beliefs, urging unity, resilience, and faith in the future.

The pain and injustice inflicted on my long time friend and partner, Ruben Vardanyan, by the Azeri regime is unbearable to witness. It is time for all Armenians to raise their voice, especially the leadership of the Armenian Republic. If not us…who? If not now…when? @NikolPashinyan

Please see this important update on my client @RubenVardanyan_’s situation. One week later, his blood pressure is up to 140/11 and he has lost six kgs (13 lbs) & the #Azerbaijan military court refused five motions to postpone the trial and insisted Ruben attend, despite his being on the verge of passing out. #HumanRights

Today marks one year since my friend and partner, Ruben Vardanyan was forcibly and unlawfully arrested by Azerbaijan, where he remains illegally jailed in Baku with many other Armenians in a clear violation of their basic human rights. The world must not observe injustice and do nothing. It’s time to act – especially as Azerbaijan is set to host COP29 – making a mockery of what should be a pivotal climate event for the world – one that considers human rights at the heart of its agenda. I implore the Azeri government to immediately release Ruben and all the Armenian prisoners unlawfully held in Baku. #COP29 #freerubenvardanyan #freearmenianprisoners

STATEMENT FROM THE VARDANYAN FAMILY CONCERNING THE WELL BEING OF POLITICAL PRISONER RUBEN VARDANYAN
April 20th, 2024
Following the family’s urgent appeal to the international community regarding his hunger strike, Ruben Vardanyan was allowed to call his family for the first time, after more than two weeks of incommunicado detention.
During the call, he mentioned that over this time he has been in full isolation, without access to even any reading materials. As far as we know, he only has his blood pressure measured and nothing else, which makes us even more concerned for his deteriorating health condition. At the end he said "I am now more convinced than ever before that values and principles are more important than even life itself".
We demand that Azerbaijan allow the International Committee of the Red Cross to visit him immediately to secure independent evidence of his well-being and ensure he is provided all proper medical attention during his hunger strike.
In addition, we reiterate Ruben’s demand for the immediate and unconditional release of the Armenian prisoners in Azerbaijan.

I recently spoke to Danielle, a Harvard student who resigned from one of the student organizations that signed the statement holding Israel solely responsible for Hamas’ evil and barbaric acts. Despite her being a board member, she was not aware that the organization had agreed to sign the statement. She was away on the weekend of Oct. 7th, had not checked her WhatsApp, and found out after the fact. I take her at her word.
When she later learned that the organization had signed, she resigned and put out the public statement below which explains her thinking.
As co-president of another student org, the Harvard Armenian Law School Association, she and the other members chose not to sign the statement.
Despite the above, Danielle was disparaged in the media, including on news television, as a law student ‘who didn’t read the papers before she signed,’ a false characterization of what actually had taken place.
It is important that people stand behind their public statements. It is also important that one of the few students to come out publicly to explain their actions is not used in a misleading manner by the media to generate clicks at the expense of her character and reputation.

@VivekGRamaswamy It’s time for the US to support Armenia in every way possible. A US base in southern armenia is the only way to have everlasting piece

I am sickened that for 20 years, our foreign policy establishment has allowed the dictatorship of Azerbaijan access to *U.S. weapons* which are now being used to kill Armenian Christians. Now we’re hearing that the ethnic cleansing of Artsakh wasn’t enough & that Azerbaijan won’t stop until they’ve bisected Armenia and opened the Zangezur corridor to Turkey. TRUTH: those waivers would have never been issued without Azerbaijan’s $$ buying lots of lobbying power in D.C. It’s shocking how little attention this has received & the hypocrisy is astounding.

Turkey has been the loudest supporter of Hamas since the terrorist massacre against Israel but Turkey has occupied Cyprus since 1974.
Turkey should take its own advice, prove to the world and withdraw from Cyprus so we know that its credible and genuine on the topic of occupation.
Go ahead, show us how much you hate occupation.

@BillAckman @BarackObama What about Azerbaijan ethnically cleaning Armenians Bill? You forgot that one
English

In 2012, @BarackObama set a red line with Syria on the use of chemical weapons. A year later, Assad gassed and killed 1,400 non-combatants. We did nothing.
In 2014, Putin invaded Crimea. We did nothing.
In September 2021, we abandoned Afghanistan in a sloppy withdrawal leading to the collapse of the country, handing our weapons and control to the Taliban.
In Feb. 2022, Putin invaded Ukraine. Since that time, we have slow-walked our military support for @Ukraine, failing to give them the armaments they need to win the war.
In our most recent budget debt crisis, we took @Ukraine out of the budget to keep the government temporarily open.
If Russia wins the war, we are handing control of the world’s bread basket to Russia, and Putin’s power and aspirations will only grow.
On September 18th, we agreed to release $6 billion to Iran, but ‘only for humanitarian purposes’ in exchange for five Americans. I remind us all that money is fungible. $6 billion for food and medical supplies frees up $6 billion Iran can use for terrorism and war. And I thought we had a policy of not negotiating with terrorists.
Why did Hamas invade Israel last night? Because the United States has consistently not kept its word on its foreign policy commitments and we look very weak.
Terrorism loves a leadership vacuum and we have created one.
We are politically divided. Our president is physically and cognitively challenged. And we are wavering on the commitment we made to @Ukraine to give them the weapons they need to win the war.
The world has become a much more dangerous place because we have not kept our word.
This needs to stop now or, dare I say, hell is coming. The world is a much safer place when the US leads, and it quickly can become a living hell when we fail to do so.
Now is the time for our government and Congress to show strength, solidarity and leadership and to follow through on our commitments to our allies and the world order.
We owe nothing less to our children.
