The building in the picture was the headquarter of the Republic of Artsakh in Armenia. It remains the office of the former representatives of Artsakh in Yerevan, Armenia. Altough the building is in Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia, bu it does not display the flag of the Republic of Armenia as an act of political defiance.
On Tuesday April 17, 2025, ahead of Artsakh’s last president Samvel Shahramnyan’s term that ends in May, the former MPs of Artsakh in Armenia, convened a session and had president Samvel Shahramnyan continue his tenure as president in response to Armenia’s ruling Civil Contract party that had called the move ‘extremely unacceptable’..
Samvel Sharamanyan accepted to remain the president of the Republic of Artakh although on behalf of the republic, he had signed the republic on September 2023 in Stepanakert to be formalized by January 1, 2024. In accepting to continue as the president of Artskah, Savel Shaharmanyan effectively threw the gauntlet at the present government of Armenia led by Nikol Pashinyan, and sided with the opposition leaders, Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan who, like him, hail from Artsakh and who pursue unseating Nikol Pashinyan led government. Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Saroyan were leaders of Artakh liberation, while Samvel Shahramanyan was its last president. We all know that eight other Artsakh officials languish in prison in Baku.
In siding with the opposition and in accepting to act as president of the Artsakh Republic he ended, Savel Shahramanyan threw the gauntlet at the PM Nikol Pashinyan government.
