Handcuffs as a course of International law: David Babayan's Sudden "Epiphany"

The recent statements by David Babayan, once a long-time advocate of separatist positions, now invoking international law and human rights language, appear to mark a notable shift in tone.

His appeals to legal norms and references to “procedural violations” and “political vendetta” contrast sharply with his previous rhetoric over many years.

This sudden change in discourse has drawn attention, as it comes at a moment of legal accountability, raising questions about whether it reflects a genuine reassessment of views or is primarily driven by personal circumstances.
