I am establishing a "Photochronicle Museum Institute for Conflict Research and Prevention" in Yerevan. I am looking for people and companies willing to help me.

Armenia has been included for the first time in the Council of Europe’s annual report Press Freedom in 2025 among countries where journalists and media actors are currently deprived of liberty. The report is issued by the Platform for the Protection of Journalism and Safety of Journalists, which monitors serious threats to media freedom across Europe. In the report, Armenia is listed among European countries where journalists are currently imprisoned: • Russia — 58 • Azerbaijan — 36 • Belarus — 27 • Turkey — 24 • Armenia — 2 • Georgia — 1 Armenia’s inclusion stems from the pre-trial detention of two opposition podcasters, Vazgen Saghatelyan and Narek Samsonyan. They were arrested over statements made during an episode of their Imnemnimi podcast featuring former President Serzh Sargsyan. The broadcast included sharply worded remarks directed at National Assembly Speaker Alen Simonyan. Authorities opened a criminal case under Armenia’s hooliganism provision, arguing that certain statements constituted criminal conduct. The defense describes the charges as politically motivated, stating that the case arises from the podcasters’ outspoken criticism of Pashinyan’s government and that it represents an attempt to criminalize protected political speech. Media freedom advocates have likewise questioned the proportionality of applying a hooliganism charge to speech-related conduct. A Yerevan court initially ordered two months of pre-trial detention and later extended it by three months. Following the extension, Samsonyan declared an open-ended hunger strike. His condition deteriorated significantly during the strike, and he was subsequently transferred to house arrest. He has since appeared at court hearings in a wheelchair. Insult and defamation were decriminalized in Armenia in 2010, but criminal liability for certain forms of insult was reintroduced in 2021 through amendments adopted under Pashinyan’s government. This marks the first time Armenia has been formally categorized by European monitoring institutions as a state jailing media representatives, reflecting a notable shift in international assessments of press freedom in the country.

n*kol supporters: “we don’t want war we want peace” Azerbaijan and Turkey: we praise Enver Pasha’s soul and long for the day we return to our historical land of Iravan where Armenian settlers installed by Russia have stolen from us and those of us who point out the absurdity are ‘warmongers’ We want peace too—where is it being offered? Is the enemy signaling peace? Or are you being lured into the most defenseless position possible before they pull a Gaza on you? Never mind. I forget n*kol supporters hardly concern themselves with matters not involving their stomach, sadistic gossip, or immediate comfort.
