Ruben Vardanyan has, for decades, been involved in large-scale initiatives in education, philanthropy, and nation-building, supporting transformative projects and investing his time and resources in the future of Armenia and Artsakh.
For more than two years, Vardanyan has been illegally held in a prison in Baku. His trial, lasting over a year, has been widely criticized by legal experts, international organizations, and human rights advocates as incompatible with the standards of an independent and impartial judicial process. He was ultimately sentenced by a military court to 20 years in prison on multiple charges that he and his legal team firmly reject as politically motivated and unsupported by credible evidence.
Nicolas and Kristina Aznavours express their solidarity during this difficult time and send strength and support to Ruben Vardanyan, his family, and to all those who stand beside him.
