Vardanyan's Wife Seeks Support for Humanitarian Delegation to Baku
Ruben Vardanyan’s Wife Issues Statement on International Women’s Humanitarian Delegation’s Planned Visit to Baku
Lusine Vardanyan, wife of detained businessman Ruben Vardanyan, has issued open letters to international and governmental bodies to facilitate a women's humanitarian delegation visit to Baku. The delegation aims to visit Armenian detainees held in Azerbaijan.
Vardanyan is seeking engagement from international organizations and governments to organize the planned visit. The effort represents an attempt to secure humanitarian access to Armenians in Azerbaijani custody, a sensitive issue following the 2020 war and subsequent conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Ruben Vardanyan, a prominent businessman and philanthropist, was detained in Azerbaijan in 2023. His wife's initiative reflects ongoing concerns among Armenian diaspora and international observers regarding the welfare and legal status of Armenian prisoners held by Azerbaijan.
