"I am following with concern the evolving and fragile humanitarian situation.
It is important that the rights of the ethnic #Armenian population on the ground are safeguarded.
Protection of all civilians must be an absolute priority"

The family of U.S. journalist Evan Gershkovich said on Wednesday that they had appealed to the United Nations for help in their bid to get him freed in Russia, where he was detained in March on spying charges that carry up to 20 years in prison.

Wonderful initiative but why can spectators no longer sit down? This is absurd since @ORF is handing out sitting cushions at the entrance. Not kind towards the elderly, pregnant, those with back problems etc. Hope @Vienna_Phil sorts this out for next year.
Just two days to go until the 2023 edition of the @Vienna_Phil Summer Night Concert!
You will be able to pre-order the concert from June 9th, for now enjoy Gustavo Dudamel with a fiery rendition of "The Stars and Stripes Forever" from the SNC 2019.

Perhaps #Fifa should be given a red card for their lack of tolerance and for awarding the #WorldCup to Qatar in the first place. 😡
