>The Pontifical Oriental Institute (PIO) is where, in Rome, the Eastern Catholic Church is studied. It has been operating since 1917 and has two faculties: Eastern Ecclesiastical Sciences and Eastern Canon Law. Since 2019 it has been cooperating with the Azerbaijan International Development Agency (AIDA), the Azerbaijani cooperation agency. The agreement signed between the Institute and Aida is one of the tools, as much as the restorations funded by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, through which the relationship between the two countries has been strengthened.
>On February 19, 2024, one of its professors, Belgian Jesuit Georges-Henri Ruyssen, was kicked out of the institute and expelled from the Society of Jesus.

>Ruyssen, according to three different sources consulted by IrpiMedia, was allegedly kicked out after his protest against a case of denialism of the Armenian genocide that occurred within the Institute where he taught. The scholar takes the issue to heart as author of more than a decade of archival investigations, culminating in a multi-volume work that is of fundamental importance to study the Armenian genocide and its international recognition.

>As much in the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia as in the one between Russia and Ukraine, therefore, the risk is that this operation has had the effect, perhaps unintended, of strengthening the hegemonic role of the two autocracies, and that this opening – much welcomed by Moscow and Baku – may contribute to a diplomatic normalization that would put in the background, or erase, crimes and aggressions committed by those same autocracies.
