In Yerevan, thousands of protesters demanded the resignation of Pashinyan

In Yerevan, late at night on Wednesday, September 14, several thousand people blocked Bagramyan Avenue in the city center and tried to break the gates of parliament. It is reported by Radio Azatutyun.

The demonstrators demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Nikola Pashinyan after his statement in parliament. The prime minister noted that against the backdrop of an aggravation of relations with Azerbaijan, the government is ready to sign a certain document, after which he can be called a traitor.

According to the media, many perceived the words of the prime minister as a rejection of claims to the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.

Against the backdrop of protests, Pashinyan turned to citizens and assured that he was not going to sign any documents with Azerbaijan. The Armenian National Security Service said that the prime minister’s words were distorted and “manipulatively represented by various media.”

Late in the evening on Wednesday, Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan announced the achievement of peaceful agreements with Azerbaijan. However, according to him, a document or an agreement that is being prepared for signing with Baku does not yet exist.

There was no confirmation of information about the a truce achieved by Azerbaijan.

On the night of September 12 to 13, the situation was aggravated on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan. The parties accused each other of aggression and provocations. During the conflict, more than 100 Armenian and 50 Azerbaijani troops were killed. Azerbaijan, according to Pashinyan, managed to take control of about 10 square kilometers of the territory.

The Armenian government officially appealed to Russia, the organization of the collective security agreement (CSTO) and the UN Security Council in connection with the aggravation of the armed conflict on the border with Azerbaijan.

Baku unilaterally offered Yerevan a humanitarian ceasefire. The Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry claims that Armenia violates the provisions of three -way statements and agreements reached through the mediation of the head of the European Council Charles Michel.

• At the end of 2020, a conflict resumed between Armenia and Azerbaijan around the self -proclaimed Nagorno -Karabakh. After 44 days of confrontation, Baku and Yerevan, through the mediation of Moscow, signed an agreement on the termination of hostilities.
• The agreement that caused opposition’s protests in Yerevan confirmed the military successes achieved by Azerbaijan-Baku regained part of the territories of the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region, as well as the surrounding areas occupied by Armenian armed groups in the early 1990s. Control over the ceasefire was entrusted to Russian peacekeepers.
• In the summer of 2022, Azerbaijan pointed out a non -compliance with a number of signed agreements and emphasized that the Armenian armed forces were not completely withdrawn from the territory of Karabakh.
• The self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is not recognized as a single country in the world, including Armenia.
