Henrikh Mkhitaryan made a post on social networks referring to the capture of the former State Minister of Artsakh Ruben Vardanyan and joining the movement to protect all other Armenians arrested by Azerbaijan.
The football player demanded to ensure Ruben Vardanyan’s safety and release him.
“Ruben Vardanyan stands out as an open supporter of peace not only in our region, but also in the world. He is a world-renowned philanthropist, businessman and co-founder of the Aurora humanitarian initiative, which advocates for peace and gives people around the world the opportunity to receive education and access to health services,” the football player said.
Mkhitaryan noted that against the background of the forced displacement of thousands of residents of Nagorno-Karabakh, the arrest of compatriots is becoming an alarming trend.
