Today the trial of the eight Artsakh Armenian officials began

Rupen Vartanian’s trial, and the trial of the eight abductees, will also be the litmus test of Diaspora’s political clout. Vahe H Apelian

Yesterday I received an email message from FREE ARMENIAN PRISONERS, a copy righted site - Copyright (C) 2025. All rights reserved. The email alerted its subscribers that tomorrow, January 17, 2025, at 3:00 PM Baku time, Ruben Vardanyan, an Armenian humanitarian and political prisoner, who has been detained illegally in Azerbaijan for over 470 days, faces 42 fabricated charges. He has been denied adequate time to prepare his defense or access to case material in a language he understands and is subjected to falsified evidence and coerced protocols. Some of these charges carry life imprisonment.

Let us be mindful that his trial begins on January 17, 2025, which is Friday, the holy day of the week for Muslims, as Sunday is for Christians. It does not surprise me that his sham trail was purposely set to begin on Friday afternoon after the services at the mosques, much like Sundays. The news of the trial of Ruben Vardanyan, a Christian, will be spread across the world, naturally including the Muslim World.

Let us take a step back and in a chronological order, date what happened during those fateful 52 days, from August 7 to September 28, in Artsakh. 

On August 7, 2023, Tavit Ishkanian was elected speaker of the Artsakh National Assembly.

On September 1, 2023, Arayik Harutyunyan, the popularly elected president, resigned.

On September 10, 2023 Samvel Shahramanyan was elected president by the Artsakh national assembly.

On September 11, 2023, Samvel Shahramanyan gave his presidential inaugural speech to the national assembly. His inaugural speech did not hint at all of the upcoming seismic development or its possibility. On the contrary, it sounded business as usual under new leadership (see the link below).

The abrupt resignation of president Arayik Harutyunyan was very concerning. But some Armenian pundits in the Diaspora welcomed the change of Artsakh governance and one of Diaspora’s most ardent partisan “analyst”, Sarkis Mahserejian, likened the change, in the ARF media, to a snow ball that he hoped will continue rolling down and take over or roll over Yerevan.

 But..

From September 17 -20, 2023, Artsakh capitulated and the exodus of the Armenians began, abandoning historic and the legendary Mountainous Karabagh. The historic stronghold of the Davit Beg and Mkhitar Sparapet, in a matter of days was completely depopulated of its native Armenian inhabitants it had on its soil throughout history. 

On September 28, 2023, Artsakh President Samvel Shahramanyan signed a decree by which Nagorno Karabakh would ceases to exist from January 1, 2024. It is obvious that it was an unconditional surrender.

On that day or a day later, Samvel Shahramanyan, the last president of the Republic of Artsakh, with some of his trusted lieutenants, was transferred by a Russian helicopter to Armenia, but the three former presidents of Artsakh, as well as other state and military official, were arrested/kidnapped and taken to prisons in Baku. All together eight of them now face the possibility of life imprisonment in Baku.

Today, Friday January 17, 2025, Rupen Vartanian, one of the Baku eight, will face or already faced the start of his sham trial, as I penned these noted. As noted, he faces 42 made up charges and some of them do indeed carry life imprisonment.

Rupen Vartanian’s trial, and the trial of the remaining eight abductees, will also be the litmus test of Diaspora’s political clout. As long as the eight remain in prison, Diaspora has no legitimate claim on commenting on Armenia’s policies. The pundits of the Diaspora will do a better service focusing on the preservation of the Armenian culture in the Diaspora and nothing else.

Senseless Deaths in Armenia -1/2 -: In memory of MP Mher Sahakyan

Vahe H Apelian

MP Mher Sahakyan, car accidents in Armenia posted on social media.

On January 13, 2025, the PM Nikol Pashinyan wrote on his Facebook page that he “was saddened to learn of the tragic death of MP Mher Sahakyan.” He offered his “condolences to Mr. Sahakyan's family members, relatives, and colleagues” Mr. Sahakyan was killed in a car accident. 

National Assembly of Armenia reports the following about MP Mher Sahakyan on its parliemant.am website. Mher Sahakyan was born on January 30, 1988 in Yerevan.In 2008, he graduated from the Faculty of Law of Yerevan State University and worked as a lawyer. He had been a member of the ARF since 2016.  On December 10, 2022, he was elected as one of the deputies representating the "Armenia" coalition faction in the National Assembly. He was married and had four children.

The tragic news reminded me of an article Lucy Deukmejian posted on Keghart.com online journal some seven weeks ago, on December 1, 2024. She titled her article “We do not need senseless deaths – Մեզի անիմաստ ահեր պետք չեն».  Lucy Deukmejian is a Diaspora Armenian from Lebanon. She repatriated to Armenia a few years ago. Presently she is the editor of Keghart.com online journal. 

I attached my abridged translation of Lucy Deukmejian's article. The. original is linked below. Բնագիրը կցուած է ներքեւը։

“Armenian news websites, in addition to political news, always report on two sad events that happen almost daily. Not a day goes by without us encountering two types of deaths that are not only senseless, but may be considered “suicidal” for a country with a population of only three million. These deaths also remind us of  serious socio-psychological problems.

One of these two senseless deaths are the car accidents, which happen at an alarming frequency. If we reflect on the causes of these road accidents that take the lives of several souls every day, we find underlying factors that contribute to these senseless acts we do not need. 

As far as car accidents are concerned, putting aside the possibilities of poor roads and insufficient lighting, some of the car accidents happen because the driver is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or is a minor and/or does not have a driver’s license. There is also the issue of driving too fast, competing with other drivers. 

There is also the issue of ignoring fastening seat belt. In the latter’s case, I would like to cite the following example. For many people, including myself, wearing a seat belt in a car is a must. Once, when I barely got into a taxi in Yerevan and fastened my seat belt, the driver immediately snapped and said: “You are definitely from the Diaspora.” Why this notion that fastening seat belts are only for foreigners? Despite the frequent reminders on taxi services’ cell phones to “fasten your seatbelts even when sitting in the back seat,” that call is almost always completely ignored.

As the Arabic proverb says, the reasons are many, but the outcome is the same, senseless deaths.

 Studying the growing phenomenon of road tragedies, we will most likely see a problem in stereotyping, ignorance, and negligence. Many men are convinced that men have an innate ability to drive fast, that women are always bad drivers and a reason for having the men slow down the car they drive. Others do not realize that driving has mandatory rules to follow, and are negligent for themselves and for the passengers, or towards the lives of the other persons on the road. This is an issue that, like many other issues, is rooted in the collective mentality of the Armenian society, which requires vigilance and counceling.

The second kind of senseless deaths in Armenia is much more dangerous. Almost every day, arguments occur that end in fatal stabbings or murders.

Armenia responds to Aliyev's allegations and stands by its crossroad for peace initative.

Վարչապետ Նիկոլ Փաշինյանին հայերէն բնագիրները կցուած են իւրաքանչիւր պլակին մէջ

I am left with the impression that a flurry of activities seems to be going behind the scene towards the signing Armenia’s crossroad for peace initiative. That may be why the president of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, and the president of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan are making increasingly provocative statements.

During the last three weeks, the PM of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan gave two interviews with ArmenianPress.Am.  The first interview took place on Decmber 19, 2024. ArmenPress.AM posted the interview on its site quoting the following from the PM Nikol Pashinyan, “If Azerbaijan has no intention of attacking Armenia, the probability of escalation is zero: Prime Minister Pashinyan responded to Aliyev's statements”. I translated the interview and posted it on my blog on and titled it “ Armenia responds to Ilhan Aliyev’s allegations – 1/3 -)

 The second interview took place on January 8, 2025. Armenpress.AM posted the interview on its site noting the following: “The Prime Minister of Armenia's response to the President of Azerbaijan: EXCLUSIVE”. The PM himself presented the interview to his readers. I copied it and posted it on my blog titling it “Armenia responds to Ilham Aliyev’s allegations – 2/3)

On January 9, 2025, the PM Nikol Pashinyan summed up Armenia’s response to the Azerbaijan allegations and posted it on his Facebook page in Armenian and as well as in English. I copied his summary and pasted it on my blog, titling it “Armenia’s stand to Aliev’s allegations”.

I posted the three blogs below for the interested readers.

In two interviews with ArmenianPress.Am; the first on Decmber 19, 2024 and the other on January 8, 2025, the PM Nikol Pashinyan addressed the allegations Ilham Aliyev raises. And on January 2025, the PM summed up Armenia’s stand and posted it on his Facebook page. I posted the two interviews and reproduced below the summary points, both in English and in Armenian, the PM posted on January 9,2025 on his Facebook page, Vahe H Apelian

1. Western Azerbaijan is Qazax, Tovuz, Aghstafa, Gadabay, Dashkasan, Kelbajar, Lachin, Kubadli, Zangelan. There is no Western Azerbaijan beyond this, and cannot be. If they really want to search for it elsewhere, then we can consider Nakhchivan as Western Azerbaijan too.

2. Western Armenia is Armavir, Talin, Maralik. There is no Western Armenia beyond this, and cannot be.

3. Eastern Armenia is Ijevan, Berd, Chambarak, Vardenis, Jermuk, Goris, Kapan, Nerkin Hand, Nrnadzor. There is no Eastern Armenia beyond this, and cannot be. 

4. Azerbaijan insists for Armenia to discuss the issue of the rights of refugees, under the “Western Azerbaijan” narrative. When Azerbaijan is using the narrative of “the issue of return of Western Azerbaijan refugees” it is closing the possibility of any discussion by using this wording, because it makes it evident that it is attempting to use the issue of refugees to question the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia, a sovereign state and subject of international law, and to form territorial demands against Armenia. First of all, in order to discuss the issue, Azerbaijan must abandon the “Western Azerbaijan” and similar narratives. 

5. By questioning the right to have a defense-capable military in the outline of the circumstances mentioned in the previous point, official Baku is attempting to gain an opportunity to carry out unimpeded aggression against the Republic of Armenia.

6. The proposal of the Republic of Armenia on establishing lasting stability and peace in the region is clear:

A) To mutually abandon escalatory narratives,

B) To continue the delimitation process based on the experience of the delimitation carried out in Berkaber-Voskepar section and the regulation on the joint activity of the two countries’ delimitation commissions,

C) To sign a Peace treaty, which is 90% ready,

D) Implement the “Crossroads of Peace” project, by also resolving the issue of Azerbaijan-Azerbaijan connection through the territory of the Republic of Armenia, and the issue of Armenia-Armenia connection through the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan, in accordance with the proposals presented by Armenia to Azerbaijan with results of the meeting in Kazan,

E) Introduce a joint mechanism for investigating ceasefire violations,

F) Fully resolve the issue of detained persons,

G) To work in full intensity to resolve the issue of determining the fate of missing persons,

H) Withdraw the claims against each other, including, but not limited to, claims in international courts,

I) To work on the complete and effective implementation of the provisions of the Peace treaty.

J) To form a mechanism for negotiating around mutual arms control, quota allocation, restrictions of use of armaments,

K) To discuss the issues pertaining to refugees from the two countries in the whole, by forming a joint professional, expert commission after the establishment of peace,

L) To dissolve the OSCE Minsk.

Armenia responds to Ilham Aliey's allegations - 1-

 Բնագիրը կցուած է ներքեւը։ On January 8, 2024, the PM Nikol Pashinyan posted the following on his Facebook page noting that “it is a fragment from my interview given to Armenpress.am news agency on December 19, 2024. The link to the original is attached. Vahe H Apelian

 

Armenpress: In the same interview, the Azerbaijani President once again voiced the matter of the change of Armenian Constitution, once again claiming that it contains territorial demands against Azerbaijan. 

Prime Minister Pashinyan: I’ve had several occasions to address that topic, and I find it necessary to emphasize that if this is a sincere concern expressed by Azerbaijan, all grounds exist to consider these concerns dispelled. Why? Because the allegations that the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia contains territorial demands against Azerbaijan are based on the argument that the preamble of our Constitution contains a general reference to the Declaration of Independence, which in turn mentions Nagorno-Karabakh. In its 26 September 2024 ruling, the Constitutional Court of Armenia recorded that the reference to the Declaration of Independence in the preamble of the Constitution relates exclusively to those articles of the declaration that have gained literal stipulation in the articles of the Constitution. There is neither direct nor indirect mention of Nagorno-Karabakh in any article of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia. If we were to accept the content of the Constitution the way Azerbaijan interprets it, then a question would arise, why didn’t Karabakh participate in the 1995 Constitutional Referendum, why didn’t polling stations open there and why didn’t the people vote on the Constitution. The same can be said about the subsequent presidential and parliamentary elections in Armenia. Besides, if the Azerbaijani interpretation of the Armenian Constitution were to be accurate, then the recognition of our brothers and sisters from Karabakh as refugees by Armenia would have been impossible. 

Armenpress: You had said that Armenia has concerns that the Constitution of Azerbaijan itself contains territorial demands against Armenia.

Prime Minister Pashinyan: Indeed, and this concern is based on the fact that the preamble of the Azerbaijani Constitution contains a reference to the Constitutional Act adopted by the Azerbaijani Parliament on 18 October 1991. In turn, the Constitutional Act refers to the Declaration of Independence of the First Republic of Azerbaijan adopted on 28 May 1918, which records that the First Republic of Azerbaijan includes Eastern and Southern Transcaucasia. In November 1919, the Republic of Azerbaijan presented to the Entente its administrative map, according to which, Azerbaijan included the entirety of the provinces of Syunik and Vayots Dzor of Armenia, as well as parts of the provinces of Ararat, Armavir, Gegharkunik, Tavush, Lori and Shirak of Armenia, some 60 percent of the territory of the Republic of Armenia. Thus, the Constitution of Azerbaijan contains territorial demands against the Republic of Armenia. But we are not raising an issue of changing the Constitution of Azerbaijan for two reasons, first of all such an issue would bring the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace process into a deadlock, and secondly, the agreed-upon part of the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace treaty contains an article which stipulates that the parties cannot refer to their internal legislation to justify the failure of implementation of the peace treaty. Another article of the agreed-upon part of the peace treaty says that the parties recognize each other’s territorial integrity, do not have territorial demands against each other and are bound to not make such demands in the future.

Armenpress: You mean that the concerns about the Constitution must not be the reason for not signing the peace treaty, but that the signing of the peace treaty itself will dispel these concerns?

Prime Minister Pashinyan: Definitely. And if we approach the matter from the viewpoint of the legislation of the Republic of Armenia, by our laws the peace treaty must be ratified in the National Assembly after the signing. Before that, the government must submit the treaty to the Constitutional Court to verify its compliance with the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia. If the Constitutional Court decides that the text of the peace treaty does not comply with the Constitution, although such a development is less likely after the 26 September 2024 decision, it would turn out that Azerbaijan’s arguments in this matter were correct and Armenia would have to make a choice between some articles of the Constitution and the peace treaty. But if the Constitutional Court decided that the text of the peace treaty complies with the Constitution of Armenia, it will pass the ratification process in our parliament. And according to paragraph 3 of article 5 of the Armenian Constitution, in case of conflict between the norms of international treaties ratified by the Republic of Armenia and those of laws, the norms of international treaties shall apply. Thus, after ratification in parliament, the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace treaty will gain superior legal force against laws and other normative legal acts of Armenia, and the topic of territorial demands will be closed forever. The same would happen in Azerbaijan. Meaning, it is the signing of the peace treaty that will practically dispel the concerns of both Armenia and Azerbaijan, including in relation to the constitutions.
