Ordinary citizens and public figures have gathered in front of the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA)—and in defense of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) former state minister, businessman, and philanthropist Ruben Vardanyan, who looked fatigued in the photos published from his last court “trial” in Azerbaijani capital Baku.

The demonstrators demand that the Armenian MFA call a meeting of diplomats accredited in Armenia to discuss the matter.

“The silence of the Armenian government and the international community is direct support for the atrocities of Azerbaijan,” they noted.
