“We must do everything necessary to help people escape from the terrible circumstances called “war”. No matter how the war is explained, people are suffering. And this is its most terrible consequence. Among those held [in Baku], I can, for instance, say about Rubik Vardanyan. It is not my business to understand the accusations that are brought against him by that side, but I can say how much this man has done, is doing and will do for his homeland. When I was in Dilijan I saw the college [UWC Dilijan] that Ruben built with his own money. This college is equipped with all the latest world scientific achievements, and children from all over the world study there. This alone can at least indicate that we are with an extremely noble and humane person.”
