Statement against Azerbaijan's Authoritarianism, COP29 and Green Capitalism, Wars, and Regional Slide into Authoritarianism

Caucasus Feminist Anti-War Movement — 2024-11-23T13:25:53Z

Caucasus Feminist Anti-War Movement—C-FAM is an emerging movement of feminist and anti-war/peace activists from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. Unified in our defiance, C-FAM originated from a powerful solidarity action to confront the greenwashing practices at COP29 taking place in Azerbaijan on November 2024, one of the largest events in our region in recent times. Our movement embodies the principles of feminism, anti-militarism, anti-war, anti-authoritarianism, anti-nationalism, and anti-capitalism, opposing oppressive systems that perpetuate inequality and violence.

War and Defeat

Vicken Cheterian — 2020-12-08T10:10:39Z

Between the First Karabakh War and the Second Karabakh War there is a long period of 26 years, so many missed opportunities to resolve the conflict through negotiations. The failure should be found in the wrong beliefs, wrong ideas that led to wrong policies.

“A mass movement the country never has seen before”

Hovhannes Gevorkian — 2018-04-30T07:24:16Z

A mass movement in Armenia pushed out the Prime Minister and former president Serj Sargsyan. Even if liberal currents are trying to channel the movement and gain electoral support, this event could also be a positive move for the oppressed youth and the working class in the country. LeftEast interviewed Hovhannes Gevorkian, an Armenian student of Law in Berlin and member of the RevolutionÃ¤ren Internationalistischen Organisation (RIO) of Germany. The interview was conducted by Philippe Alcoy (PA).
