Descriptions

Publicist, propagandist, member of “Russia Today” board, member of the Civic Chamber

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Gasparian has consistently propagated narratives in line with the Kremlin’s propaganda. He has used logical fallacies to explain international affairs, denied Ukrainian sovereignty over Crimea, and defended Russia’s actions in the Kerch Strait when it captured a Ukrainian ship. He is therefore actively supporting actions or policies, which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine. Armen Gasparyan runs his own show “Nablyudenye” for Russian media outlet Sputnik and a radio show on “Vesti FM”. He also publishes books and audiobooks and acts as an expert in radio show “Polnyi kontakt” (“Full contact”) of another propagandist Vladimir Solovyov. On 6 April 2023, he was nominated as a member of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation. He continues to publish pro-Russian propaganda related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and actively denies Ukraine’s sovereignty.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Armen Gasparyan dirige sa propre émission “Nablyudenye” pour le média russe Sputnik et une émission de radio sur “Vesti FM”. Il publie également des ouvrages et des livres audio et intervient en qualité d’expert dans l’émission de radio “Polnyi kontakt” (“Full contact”) d’un autre propagandiste, Vladimir Solovyov. Le 6 avril 2023, il a été nommé membre de la Chambre civique de la Fédération de Russie. Gasparyan a toujours propagé des discours conformes à la propagande du Kremlin. Il a eu recours à des raisonnements fallacieux pour expliquer les affaires internationales, il a nié la souveraineté ukrainienne sur la Crimée et il a défendu les actions de la Russie dans le détroit de Kertch lorsqu’elle a arraisonné un navire ukrainien. Il continue de publier la propagande pro-russe liée à l’invasion russe de l’Ukraine et nie activement la souveraineté de l’Ukraine. Il soutient donc activement des actions et des politiques qui compromettent ou menacent l’intégrité territoriale, la souveraineté et l’indépendance de l’Ukraine ainsi que la stabilité et la sécurité en Ukraine.
