International lawyer of Ruben Vardanyan, Jared Genser, made a post on X.
For example, when I represented two American hostages in Iran @sianamazi & his Dad, the U.S. had a @StateSPEHA Envoy on Hostage Affairs working on the case, the White House & State Department met regularly with the family of my clients, including with the Secretary of State, the U.S. had a U.S. Interests Section at the Swiss Embassy in Iran advocating for improved prison conditions and trying to monitor the trials, the President and SecState spoke out publicly, U.S. diplomats advocated at the @un & with its allies asking for help, the U.S. asked for support from global religious leaders, and the U.S. imposed sanctions on Iranian officials responsible for the hostage taking. This was all reasonable and proportionate for the United States. Yet to my surprise, as far as I can tell, Armenia has done none of these kinds of very basic things for the Armenian hostages in #Azerbaijan.
So I ask Prime Minister @NikolPashinyan – do you agree doing these things are reasonable and proportionate or are you really saying that the kinds of efforts President @realDonaldTrump has been taking to recover American hostages like #MarcFogel & Amcits from #Belarus and #Venezuela have been unreasonable and disproportionate?
