The recent escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in the Middle East is increasingly alarming. As the situation intensifies, due to provocative actions by Israel, the scope of military operations is expanding, risking the emergence of new conflict zones in the region.
We believe that forces outside the region are driving this escalation. While condemning Israel's disproportionate actions, we urge all parties to cease hostilities immediately and refrain from further escalation, as it risks causing irreversible and destructive consequences for all involved.
We also call on the Armenian authorities to take concrete steps to ensure the safety of the Armenian population in the region.

The message was not authentic, with the real Zelenskiy soon denying the claim on his official Telegram channel, but the incident highlighted a major problem: disinformation quickly spreads unchecked on the encrypted app. You may recall that, back when Facebook started changing WhatsApp’s terms of service, a number of news outlets reported on, and even recommended, switching to Telegram. Pavel Durov even said that users should delete WhatsApp “unless you are cool with all of your photos and messages becoming public one day.” But Telegram can’t be described as a more-secure version of WhatsApp. But Telegram says people want to keep their chat history when they get a new phone, and they like having a data backup that will sync their chats across multiple devices. And that is why they let people choose whether they want their messages to be encrypted or not. When not turned on, though, chats are stored on Telegram's services, which are scattered throughout the world. But it has "disclosed 0 bytes of user data to third parties, including governments," Telegram states on its website. Soloviev also promoted the channel in a post he shared on his own Telegram, which has 580,000 followers. The post recommended his viewers subscribe to "War on Fakes" in a time of fake news. "And that set off kind of a battle royale for control of the platform that Durov eventually lost," said Nathalie Maréchal of the Washington advocacy group Ranking Digital Rights.
