  • Freedom House released the latest edition of its annual Freedom in the World report today, maintaining Armenia’s “partly free” status, while slightly lowering the country’s overall score and warning of the risk of war in the region.
  • Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan described Azerbaijan’s deadly attack on a Karabakh Armenian police car Sunday as a “terrorist act.”
  • The United States is not considering imposing sanctions on Azerbaijan over its blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh, said Louis Bono, the new U.S. special envoy for the South Caucasus.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
