On May 27 I will be in Yerevan for two panels. One about investigative journalism (caviar diplomacy) and the other about being a foreign journalist, but working in a local context in Armenia.

"Every year on April 24, we mark the 1915 Armenian genocide.
"This year, we should also reflect on the present day, for Armenians are again facing a new set of atrocities as the world watches on with indifference."

BREAKING No longer pretending that the 130+ day blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh is an “ecological protest,” today—on the eve of the Armenian Genocide anniversary—Azerbaijan occupied the Armenia side of the Lachin Corridor, brazenly violating Nov. 2020 ceasefire & Feb. 2023 ICJ order

In farewell speech, Turkey’s only ethnic Armenian lawmaker @GaroPaylan recalls how a Muslim neighbor saved his grandmother during genocide. “When Erdogan leaves the only chance for democracy is for parliament to assume this will and confront all its problems, past and future.”
VİDEO HABER | Garo Paylan’dan Meclis'te veda konuşması:
"Zannettik ki Abdulhamit gittiğinde bu ülkeye demokrasi gelecek. Öyle olmadı. Beteri geldi. Şimdi de zannediyoruz ki Erdoğan gidince demokrasi gelecek. Bu bizim mücadelemize bağlı."
