... feminist Nikol Pashinyan's statement during the "Democracy Delivers" forum
USAID Administrator Samantha Power noted that on April 5 she had the opportunity to go to Brussels to discuss the concrete steps that can be taken to support Armenia's democratic and peaceful future.
PASHINYAN: Democracy gives opportunity for free economic activity to all people. Before the revolution, we had monopolies and restrictions on certain economic activities in Armenia. Now this issue is also resolved.
One of the most important results of democracy is that society now has the opportunity to raise questions, revise stereotypes, and discuss the past, present, and future. I think this is a very important circumstance, because the fact that the Government has adopted the peace agenda is also a result of democracy, and it is very important for this agenda to be successful.
The next result may be about revising traditional views again. It is about the role of women in society. Definitely currently women are more active and engaged in our country, and our people and society perceive that it is an important component of the social, economic and political development of our country. And I am very happy that we are encouraging women to be more active. Their reaction is not as active as we would like, but the process has started and there is no doubt that we will have real changes. It will be a real result of democracy for our women, also for men, for our society in general. //

New York City mayor Eric Adams is charged with campaign corruption involving a Turkish construction company
Mayor Adams was allegedly given gifts from Turkey in exchange for fast-tracking the opening of the “Turkish House” in Manhattan.
“Because of Adams’ pressure on the FDNY, the FDNY official responsible for the FDNY’s assessment of the skyscraper’s fire safety was told he would lose his job if he failed to acquiesce, and after Adams intervened, the skyscraper was opened as requested.”
The U.S. authorities examined free flights and flight upgrades the mayor received from Turkish Airlines. A lawyer for Turkish Airlines, which is owned in part by the Turkish government, said in a statement that it had been in contact with prosecutors about the investigation for some time.
The mayor's Azerbaijani staffer Rana Abbasova reportedly flipped on him after scrutiny over his dealings with Turkish Airlines.
