The Washington Post: Trump vowed to protect Armenia’s Christians. He can start here
![]() 930 Monday, 10 February, 2025, 23:55 Armenian Ruben Vardanyan is on trial in Azerbaijan. His crime? Helping others. The Washington Post article says. With so much suffering in the world, individual cases can get lost. But I want to explain the plight of a man named Ruben Vardanyan, who is a political prisoner on trial in Azerbaijan and is facing a life sentence — and whose case deserves greater attention. Vardanyan’s crime, if you can call it that, is that he championed Armenian resistance in Nagorno-Karabakh, a remote region in the Caucasus that is legally part of Azerbaijan but whose population was once largely Armenian and self-governing. Not anymore: The region’s 120,000 Armenians fled in September 2023 when Azerbaijani troops invaded. Vardanyan was arrested as he tried to cross the border into Armenia. Source: The Washington Post |
