Since the ethnic cleansing of September 2023, 19 Armenians, including 8 former leaders of the Republic of Artsakh, have been held in prison in Baku without the right to receive visitors. They have not seen their loved ones for more than three years.
In light of this situation, Veronika Zonabend, wife of Ruben Vardanyan—an Armenian businessman, philanthropist, and former prime minister of Nagorno-Karabakh—is launching a humanitarian initiative.

The initiative aims to form an international humanitarian delegation composed exclusively of women, which will travel to Baku to express solidarity with Armenian prisoners and deliver letters of support, photographs, and messages from their loved ones.
The Association for the Support of Artsakh fully endorses this effort and calls on all French female politicians, elected officials, community leaders, intellectuals, artists, and all women who are friends of Armenia and Artsakh to show their support for this humanitarian initiative.
There are two ways you can participate:
❤️ 1) Simply write “I support” in the comments on this Instagram post:
✉️ or 2) by sending a message of support via email (or mail) to the Artsakh Support Association : secretariat@soutien-artsakh.eu who will be responsible for passing this on to the organizers of this mission.
We're counting on you to spread the word about this initiative to those around you!
