Dr. Hrand Markarian joined with concerned Armenian Americans at the Belarus diplomatic mission in New York to condemn the arrest and impending extradition of blogger Alexandr Lapshin to Azerbaijan, calling any efforts to silence the free and unfettered media coverage of Artsakh unacceptable.
The protest was organized by the ANC of New York and held simultaneously with a similar protest in front of the Belarus Embassy in Washington, DC.
On December 15, 2016, police in Belarus detained Mr. Lapshin, a popular travel blogger based in Moscow, for his prior visits to the Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) and for his criticism of the Aliyev regime. In his postings, Mr. Lapshin had expressed support for the right to self-determination of the people of Artsakh. In 2016, he had also visited Baku and subsequently wrote blogs criticizing the poverty in certain areas of the oil-rich capital Baku, as well as the dictatorial rule of Aliyev. On 20 January 2017, at President Aliyev’s request, the General Prosecutor’s Office of Belarus decided to have Mr. Lapshin extradited to Azerbaijan. An appeal to the ruling was recently denied.
