On the initiative of the friends of former Minister of State of Artsakh Ruben Vardanyan, the participants of the march held near Matenadaran with the slogan “Ruben, we are with you” expressed their support for Ruben Vardanyan, who was kidnapped by Azerbaijan, and who was accused of false accusations.
Ruben Hayrapetyan, the co-founder of “Matena” Leadership School, said: “Our call is to all world leaders, media, and human rights advocates to join our struggle and demand the unconditional, immediate, and safe return of Ruben Vardanyan and all prisoners and illegally held people.” According to him, the world should see and understand that what is happening today is not only a crime against humanity but also a crime against civilization. He mentioned that their struggle will not be limited to a march.
“Ruben, as a civilized and developed person, is a real Armenian symbol. The entire mindset of the Armenian people and the wisdom of the Armenian people are expressed in Ruben’s activities. Ruben is brave; that’s why he is a true Armenian. Ruben is humanity and charity. And finally, like all our Armenian people, Ruben is the book and education. It describes his activity; Ruben Vardanyan founded three international schools.

All the fabricated accusations against Ruben and our Armenian prisoners are ridiculous and unacceptable. The world should see and understand that the people who have Matenadaran cannot be treated like this. All our captives and illegally detained people are the bearers of the educational and cultural heritage of Matenadaran. And this distinguishes us from those who commit crimes against civilization,” added Ruben Hayrapetyan.
Arman Jilavyan, head of the “Aurora” humanitarian initiative, also presented the “Aurora” humanitarian initiative statement in support of Ruben Vardanyan.
