Maral Najarian is one of the women civilian prisoners held by #Azerbaijan . I can’t even imagine in what state she is now and wondering if anyone from #women ’s organizations in #Baku are inquiring about the state of #Armenian civilian women prisoners like her.

Some Armenians in LA were trying to convince me that it is much better to have Kocharyan with all the corruption &HR violations, for security & NK.The funny part is 4 out 5 of them left during Kocharian’s regime. I wonder why? If he is that good you should’ve stayed 🙂

Despite the fact that most meetings I had today were depressive, I am not despairing. it seems Armenians have resilience embedded in their blood, the more life or the world knocks them down, the stronger they get back on their feet and rebuild their lives from the ruins.

#Police brutality - this morning #Armenian police violently dragging mothers of fallen soldiers who gathered in front of the pantheon to close the entrance to Pashinyan and govt reps. 31 years of independence and yet we didn’t learn much about rights to peaceful protests

Supporters for “I have the honor/pride” alliance of the Republican Party/Serj SARGSYAN apparently arrested for distributing bribes to buy votes- Some things never change and some have a very distorted understanding of “honor/pride” #armvote21 #elections #Armenia ⬇️

another reminder; those who use hate speech, personal insults, call to violence under this tweet and elsewhere under my posts will be blocked. Go play somewhere else janigs, and learn how to argue and express your opinions in a civil way without hate or burning people

Considering the real potential risks of #Armenia ’s being dragged into the conflict, we urge the Armenian government not only to condemn #Russia ’s aggression but also take active measures to exclude any participation/engagement of any Armenian citizen in this inhumane enterprise

Adriana’s court hearing today, she was stabbed last year and burned to death. I am here in support of her family and others in the trans community who are constantly terrorized due to such crimes, and to tell them that they are not alone. #justice4Adriana #hatecrime

Refugees from #Ukraine are more welcome in #Poland than refugees from #Syria &recently #Afghanistan , double standards? #racism . #war makes me insanely #sarcastic but I feel in the middle of chaos we shouldn’t forget what is seriously wrong in this world.
