Turkish journalist Tuğçe Yılmaz is facing prosecution for an article she wrote about the experiences of Armenian youth in Turkey and their connection to the historical trauma of the Armenian Genocide. The case shows the continued restrictions on journalists who address Armenian issues or challenge official narratives in Turkey.

The Armenian government has released a large collection of documents that show how the negotiation process around the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict developed from the 1990s until 2020. The files were posted on the official government website gov.am and include proposals, draft agreements, negotiation notes, and publicly known international statements that shaped the diplomatic history of the conflict.

According to the government, the uploaded materials come from several state institutions involved in the negotiation process over the years. These documents give a detailed picture of how international mediators and Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders discussed borders, status, security, return of displaced people, and the structure of future peacekeeping missions. Many of these papers were internal and had not been available to the public before. The government also included a number of already public texts that are directly connected to these internal materials.

Yerevan is once again facing severe air pollution as the winter season begins, creating dangerous conditions for residents across the capital. Children, elderly people, and anyone with breathing problems are especially at risk. The city’s geography makes the problem harder to control, and seasonal changes are now adding new pressure.

Yerevan sits in a bowl-shaped area surrounded by hills. Because of this, polluted air gets trapped close to the ground, and without strong wind, it does not escape. Even during normal months, the city rarely enjoys clean air. But in late autumn and early winter, the situation usually becomes much worse.
