ArmInfo.The famous American essayist, economist, futurologist and risk manager, Ph.D. Nassim Taleb believes that the former Minister of State of Artsakh, Ruben Vardanyan, who is under arrest in Azerbaijan, is treated as a 'terrorist'.
"ARMENIA NEEDS HELP Just learned that my friend Ruben Vartanian is a prisoner in Azerbaijan. He had switched career from derivatives trader/philanthropist to leader of the Artzakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). He is not even treated as a prisoner of war, but as a 'terrorist'," the financier wrote in his microblog in X.
Ruben Vardanyan and three former leaders of Nagorno-Karabakh were detained at the end of September by the Azerbaijani military upon leaving Stepanakert. Among those arrested are also former commander of the Defense Army Levon Mnatsakanyan, ex-speaker of parliament David Ishkhanyan, former head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ex-assistant to the President of the NKR David Babayan, former deputy commander of the Artsakh Defense Army David Manukyan.
