Known for his sharp lyrics and classic melodies, he first came to  prominence in the "New Yorkshire" music scene (as the NME would label it) in the mid 2000s touring and working alongside acts such as Arctic Monkeys, Long Blondes and Reverend and the Makers. Following relocation to Austin, Texas in 2009, he became a founding member, songwriter and guitarist of acclaimed "dirt-pop" band Bobby Jealousy, who released two full-length albums between 2012–2014, before resuming his solo career back in the UK. Stoney is also an accomplished producer and co-writer for up and coming talent and has worked with Ivor Novello award-winning Guy Chambers, Rick Rubin, Warren Huart and Tim Palmer. Stoney currently lives and works in Sheffield, England. Early career

Stoney played all the instruments on the record. In response to the positive public reaction, a full band was formed to take the songs to the stage, and a three track EP of songs from the album, entitled Amber EP, was released nationally on Thunderbird Records the next year gaining Stoney his first national radio airplay. Stoney signed to Island Records in 2003, teaming up with producers Kevin Bacon and Jon Quarmby (Longpigs, Richard Hawley, Sugababes, Finley Quaye) to record an album. During this

 time, Stoney and his band performed under the name of Stoneylacuna, to reflect the change from the singer-songwriter feel of Amber to the bigger, full band sound of the new recordings. However, political wrangles ensued and Stoney parted company with the label the following year without a record being released. The Scene and The Unseen
A few months after parting ways with Island Records, the limited edition single "Constantly Running" was released nationally on the small Transistor label, and became the single of the week on the iTunes music store, restarting a frenzy of activity.The single achieved over 17,000 downloads in the UK alone in the first week. <mask> followed up with the Soap in a Bathtub EP, which brought him further national exposure.

Stoney became a regular guest on BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6Music and further shows with high-profile acts such as Jamie T, Athlete and Feeder along with his own headline shows quickly gained him a reputation as an exhilarating and charismatic live performer, continuing to win him a steadily growing underground UK fanbase. A double A-side single featuring fan favourites "Until You Leave" and "Holds the Stars" was released at the end of 2005. Stoney released the 12 track album The Scene and The Unseen in the summer of 2006 on the independent Manchester based label Too Nice Recordings and as a download on iTunes.

He then became the Stepanakert City Committee Propaganda Division Head, the Nagorno-Karabakh Regional Committee Communist Organizations' Unit Instructor, and finally became assistant to Genrikh Poghosyan, the First Secretary of the Nagorno-Karabakh Regional Committee. In November 1989, <mask> was a delegate from Nagorno-Karabakh to the first congress of the Pan-Armenian National Movement. He was elected to the Supreme Council of Armenia in 1990.

In February 1998, Sargsyan, along with then-Prime Minister Robert Kocharyan and Defense Minister Vazgen <mask>, forced President Ter-Petrosyan to resign in order to prevent him from accepting a peace plan for the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict put forward by international mediators in September 1997. The proposal envisioned the return of most of the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan in exchange for security guarantees, but left the final resolution of the status of Nagorno-Karabakh for future negotiations. From 1999 to 2000 he served as the Chief of Staff for President Robert Kocharyan, and then served once again as the Defense Minister of Armenia from 2000 to 2007. He was also the Secretary of the National Security Council led by President Kocharyan from 1999 to 2007.On 4 April 2007 <mask> was appointed as the Prime Minister of Armenia, following the sudden death of Andranik Margaryan. Presidential election
<mask>, with President Kocharyan's backing, was viewed as the strongest contender for the post of the President of Armenia in the February 2008 presidential election. Full provisional results showed him winning about 53% of the vote, a first round majority, well ahead of second place candidate Levon Ter-Petrosyan. The 2008 Presidential election was hailed as largely democratic by OSCE, the European Union (EU) and Western monitors. Ter-Petrosyan's supporters, disputing the official results, held large protests in Yerevan for over a week following the election, until they were violently broken up on 1 March; ten people (eight protestors and two police officers) were killed, and a state of emergency was imposed for

According to the Freedom House report "In 2011, the government took concrete steps to fulfill longstanding and often repeated promises to confront corruption. E-government services reduced opportunities for bribery, while new regulations and stricter enforcement led to higher numbers of corruption lawsuits and fines against senior officials and large companies. Owing to a more consolidated government effort to eradicate corruption, Armenia's corruption rating  from 5.50 to 5.25." During <mask>'s presidency the record of the freedom of speech and the freedom of press in general also improved in Armenia. Internet penetration rose sharply
– from 6.2 percent in 2008 to 37 percent in 2011, providing greater access to online media, which rapidly grew in number, including blogosphere – with over 10,000 bloggers in 2011. After the elections Sargsyan also authorized opposition rallies to take place in Yerevan and pledged to comply with the Council of Europe's demands for an end to the government's crackdown on the opposition.Civil society also grew considerably during <mask>'s presidency, with the number of non-governmental organizations growing at a higher rate and with civic activists succeeding in raising public awareness and holding important campaigns in the sphere of human rights,

<mask> made his first address in front of the 63rd session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on 25 September 2008. In his speech he referenced the 2008 South Ossetia conflict and emphasized the need for the United Nations to help bring peaceful resolution to armed conflicts around the world, including the one in Nagorno-Karabakh. He also mentioned how Azerbaijan's military buildup along with increasing war rhetoric and threats risked causing renewed problems in the South Caucasus. Sargsyan continued the policy towards the peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict pursued by his predecessors, which constitutes one of the main goals of the Armenian foreign policy. Sargsyan repeatedly stated that the Armenian side is interested in finding a just and exclusively peaceful solution to the conflict and that the OSCE Minsk Group is the viable format within which the peace talks should continue.President <mask> <mask> participated at the solemn event dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA).

 force to reestablish control over the region if the two sides did not reach an agreeable settlement. <mask> blames the Azerbaijani side for hampering the peace process and for pursuing an openly anti-Armenian stance. According to him, the anti-Armenian policies of Azerbaijan, such as "state-supported falsifications of history", "hostile propaganda against Armenia and Armenians" and "military build-up" prove that Azerbaijan does not want peace.The most vivid expression of anti-Armenian policies of Azerbaijan was the hero's welcome given to the convicted ax murderer Ramil Safarov who had brutally killed Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan during the NATO's Partnership for Peace program in Budapest in 2004. The fact that after his extradition to Azerbaijan in 2012 Safarov was pardoned by president Aliyev, promoted to the rank of major, given an apartment with over eight years of back pay and was made a national hero, hampers the negotiation process and proves, in <mask>'s words, that "the Azeri propaganda brings up an entire generation in the atmosphere of xenophobia and intolerance." <mask> has also clearly stated:The Armenophobic and aggressive stance of Azerbaijan reinforces our conviction that Nagorno-Karabakh has no future within Azerbaijan. Moreover, Azerbaijan has neither legal nor political or moral grounds to claim over Nagorno-Karabakh. In his speech made at the British Chatham House <mask> said:
Our belief is that the settlement of the Karabakh conflict should be based on human rights and the will of the Karabakh people… It is the only way to achieve lasting, feasible, and peaceful settlement. The alternative to this settlement is the forcing of the Karabakh people back into Azerbaijan, which will inevitably lead to attempts of new ethnic

Responding to the persistent war rhetoric of Azerbaijan, <mask> has condemned it as a violation of the norms of the international law, as the parties had signed a truce which Azerbaijan, the "defeated aggressor", had asked for.<mask> Sargsyan: Azerbaijan forgets who was asking for truce and who was first to sign truce.Panorama.am (19 December 2012). Retrieved on 21 June 2014. He repeatedly said that his country is categorically against the resumption of military hostilities, but at the same time is ready to counter any military aggression. In 2014, Sargsyan stated "We don't want war and never wanted, but at that time [i.e. during Nagorno-Karabakh war] we had to defend our Motherland. If the time comes again, this time our blow will be final and deadly." In this regard, Sargsyan declared that in the case of military aggression from Azerbaijan "Armenia will have no other choice but to recognize the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic de jure and to employ all its capabilities to ensure the security of the people of Artsakh."<mask> met with Ilham Aliyev again in Russian-mediated talks in Kazan in June 2011, where the two sides reportedly came close to an agreement. The basic principles discussed at Kazan envisioned the return of five of the seven districts of Azerbaijan occupied by Armenia in exchange for "interim status" for Nagorno-Karabakh and the deployment of international peacekeepers, with the final status of the region to be decided by a legally-binding referendum. The proposals made at Kazan were ultimately rejected by the Azerbaijani side. In his electoral program of 2013, Sargsyan promised to increase the security guarantees of Nagorno-Karabakh and its people given Azerbaijan's

He also highlighted the importance of strengthening the defensive system of Armenia "as a factor restraining the Azerbaijani aggression and ensuring stability in the South Caucasus". He also promised to take all the necessary efforts to ensure that Karabakh becomes a negotiating side in the peace talks as well as to foster the ties between Karabakh and the international community. As for the position of Armenia concerning the independence of Kosovo, <mask> stated that "Armenia's possible recognition of Kosovo's independence will not strain the Armenian-Russian relations" but also noted that the "Kosovo recognition issue needs serious discussion... Armenia has always been an adherent to the right of nations to self-determination and in this aspect we welcome Kosovo's independence."In April 2016, <mask> led Armenia through the 2016 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict (also known as the Four-Day War or the April War), the most significant outbreak of violence on the Nagorno-Karabakh line of contact after the 1994 ceasefire and before the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war. The four days of fighting resulted in at least dozens of deaths and the loss of approximately 800 hectares of land. Sargsyan described the outcome of the four-day clashes as a victory for Armenia, although he faced criticism for shortcomings during the clashes as well as accusations that he had agreed to cede territory to Azerbaijan in the wake of the fighting. In order to stop this purported cession of territory, a group of armed men calling themselves "Daredevils of Sasun" seized a police headquarters in Yerevan in July 2016 and took hostages, demanding <mask>'s resignation. The crisis, which coincided with mass protests in support of the attackers, ended with the

 surrender of the gunmen on 31 July 2016. Reflecting on his presidency and the negotiation process after the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, during which the Armenian side lost much of the territory it controlled in and around Nagorno-Karabakh, <mask> stated that he intended to achieve a final negotiated solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and that this was the reason for his decision to remain as prime minister in 2018, which led to protests that forced his resignation. He denied that he had deliberately delayed the negotiation process in order to maintain the status quo or that he had ever held the view that "not one inch of land" could be handed over to Azerbaijan in order to resolve the conflict.He added that he was "ready to bear the label of traitor, but resolve the [Nagorno-Karabakh] question." Turkey

Having been elected as a president for his first term in 2008, <mask> pledged to continue Armenia's policy towards Turkey, to normalize relations without any preconditions while continuing to strive for international recognition of the 1915 Armenian genocide. Coming to power, <mask> took steps towards the normalization of ties with Turkey, a policy termed as "football diplomacy". In 2008, Sargsyan took a historical initiative to invite Turkish President Abdullah Gül to Armenia to watch a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier match between Armenia and Turkey. Abdullah Gül attended the game in Armenia while <mask> <mask> made a reciprocal visit to Turkey to watch the second match. On 10 October 2009 the foreign ministers of Armenia and Turkey signed protocols on establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries without any preconditions. The accord also presupposed the opening of the border between Armenia and Turkey which had been closed

The protocols were signed in Geneva, Switzerland under the international mediation, chiefly that of the United States. <mask>'s policy of rapprochement with Turkey received controversial reaction among the Armenian people. While one part was for the opening of the border and fostering trade with Turkey the other part was concerned that by this move Armenia would be forced to make concessions to Turkey in the most vital and strategic matters. Armenian influential opposition parties, most notably the Armenian Revolutionary Federation were categorically against the signing of the protocols, given the recognition of the existing Turkish-Armenian border and the setting up of a joint commission of historians researching the Armenian Genocide, as envisioned by the protocols. They considered these steps as a sellout and staged mass protests against the signing of the protocols.The Armenian Diaspora was also largely opposed to this type of reconciliation with Turkey, arguing (despite <mask>'s assurances to the contrary) that this would jeopardize the international recognition of the Armenian genocide as well as the prospects of legitimate territorial claims of Armenians from Turkey. The process of reconciliation, however, was suspended after a year. In Armenia, before sending the protocols to the parliament, it was sent to the Constitutional Court to have their approval. The Constitutional Court made references to the preamble of the protocols underlying three main issues. One of them stated that the implementation of the protocols did not imply Armenia’s official recognition of the existing Turkish-Armenian

 border established by the Treaty of Kars. By doing so, the Constitutional Court rejected one of the main premises of the protocols, i.e. "the mutual recognition of the existing border between the two countries as defined by relevant treaties of international law".This was regarded by the Turkish Government as effectively revising the protocols and thus the reason to back down from the process. As a consequence, the Turkish Parliament did not ratify the protocols. The Armenian side accused Turkey to tie the reconciliation process with the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, expecting concessions on the Armenian side, which was unacceptable for the latter. <mask> explained the suspension of the reconciliation process by the Armenian side in the following way: For a whole year, Turkey's senior officials have not spared public statements in the language of preconditions. For a whole year, Turkey has done everything to protract time and fail the process... We consider unacceptable the pointless efforts of making the dialogue between Armenia and Turkey an end in itself; from this moment on, we consider the current phase of normalization exhausted." <mask> however has also stated that unlike Ankara, Yerevan remains committed to its initiative to normalizing relations with Turkey. European Union

President <mask> supported Armenia's efforts to ink an Association Agreement with the EU, which contains a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area, for several years.Under his Presidency, the negotiations for the agreement were completed and Armenia was set to sign the agreement at an upcoming EU Summit. However, President <mask> made a drastic policy reversal when in September 2013, after a meeting with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, he opted to

 join the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union. It was widely believed that Russian pressure and threats killed Armenia's deal with the EU. Even though such a reversal was made, President <mask>'s administration was determined to further EU inspired reforms in law and governance, and this led to Armenia signing the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement with the European Union on 24 November 2017. Behind the scenes, Russia granted approval to Armenia to sign the deal after any economic provisions were removed from the deal. Protests against <mask>'s presidency

Major protests against <mask>'s regime began in 2011, with the president's 2008 rival Levon Ter-Petrosyan at their helm. In a concession to protesters, <mask> said on 20 April 2011 that the government would recommit to a thorough investigation of the post-election violence of three years prior.In July 2016, thousands of Armenians protested in the capital Yerevan in support of the "Daredevils of Sasun," an armed group that stormed police headquarters in Yerevan and took hostages while calling for the release of all political prisoners and the resignation of president <mask> <mask>. The National Security Service of Armenia called the takeover (which resulted in the deaths of three policemen) a terrorist attack, but a growing number of Armenians disagreed with that assessment. Prime Minister (2018)

Shortly after the end of his presidency on 9 April 2018, <mask> was elected Prime Minister of Armenia on 17 April. Opposition figures described this as a "power grab" and there were large-scale protests against him. On 22 April, <mask> held a three-minute televised meeting with opposition MP and leader of the protests Nikol Pashinyan. <mask> accused the opposition of delivering an

The continuing protests were eventually successful in pressuring <mask>.On 23 April, Pashinyan was released from detention and <mask> announced his resignation. Former Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan succeeded Sargsyan as acting Prime Minister. Armenia's National Assembly, still controlled by Sargsyan's Republican Party, elected Nikol Pashinyan Prime Minister on 8 May 2018. Criminal prosecution
<mask> has been under criminal prosecution within the scope of a criminal case on embezzlement.

In January 2020, based on sufficient evidence collected, the Special Investigative Service has indicted <mask> for embezzlement on especially large scale (AMD ֏489,160,310) and the criminal case with the indictment has been handed to the prosecutor supervising the case for approval and sending it to court.

When Weiland read his poetry, it was often in the context of art exhibitions, for example at the Villa Ichon cultural center in Bremen in 1986 in conjunction with Wilfried ("Willi") Seeba's exhibition. In Aachen, he read his poems in the Karmán Auditory during an event organized for him by Peter Klein of the renowned Buchhandlung Backhaus that also invited such poets as Volker Braun.And he read his poems in this university town when he was invited to so during the exhibitions of artists such as Lui Rummler and Peter Lacroix. <mask> also participated in the art projects and exhibition of the Canadian painter and printmaker Angelo Evelyn during the 1980s. In addition to reading his poems during single exhibitions of Evelyn, he wrote the text for Evelyn's catalogue "Burning Cloud and Other Themes" when the artist had a big exhibition in the RhoK (Flemish art academy) in Brussels in 1987. In 1987, <mask> participated in the feminist art project "Unter einem Himmel" ("Under one and the same sky") at the gallery of Schloss Borbeck, Essen, that was organized and curated by Doris Schöttler-Boll in 1986–1988.

<mask> read his poems frequently during diverse events organized by Doris Schöttler-Boll in the Atelierhaus (art house) in Essen Steele. He presented poems of his new poetry book "Die Tage, das Zeitalter" (The Days, the Age...) during the "Long Night of Poets" event on September 21, 2001, which also featured the poets Angelika Janz, Christina Schlegel, D.E. Sattler, Ina Kurz, Matthias Schamp and Urs Jaeggi. When Hans van der Grinten, a friend of Joseph Beuys, invited Angelo Evelyn to do a big single exhibition in the museum of his hometown, Kranenburg, Weiland was invited to read his poetry.The new poems read during the event were inspired by works of Evelyn. They appeared in print in 2003. Weiland also read recently written poetry in the context of a series of events curated by the artist Li Portenlänger. In one case, the result was a small poetry book with an original lithographic art work by Portenlänger. Weiland participated in collective art and literature projects such as the project "Erfahren/Erinnern" (Figurenfeld Project, Eichstätt, Germany), together with Li Portenlänger, Luc Piron, and Angelo Evelyn, and in the big "Demer" project of Luc Piron that was exhibited in Diest, Belgium, in 2014. Weiland's cooperation with Piron resulted in a number of artist books with Piron's art works and Weiland's poems. Weiland wrote also poetic commentaries on the paintings of modern Arab artists like Maurice Haddad from Iraq and, while apparently using a pseudonym, about the Egyptian painter Saad el Girgawi.In 2009, <mask> participated in a conference about the Contemporary Arab Contribution to World Culture at the UNESCO in Paris that was organized by the president of the IAIS.
