YEREVAN, December 9. /ARKA/. Those Armenian citizens who demand the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan are protesting now outside the parliament building.
Opposition representatives argue that after the defeat in the Karabakh war, Pashinyan can no longer hold the post of prime minister, and his tenure is plunging the country into an even worse crisis.
The ultimatum issued last Saturday by the opposition to the Prime Minister demanding his resignation expired on December 8. After Pashinyan ignored their ultimatum the opposition parties urged supporters to again take to the streets for a nationwide campaign of “civil disobedience.”
From September 27 to November 9, Azerbaijani armed forces, backed by Turkey and foreign mercenaries and terrorists, attacked Nagorno-Karabakh along the entire front line using rocket and artillery weapons, heavy armored vehicles, military aircraft and prohibited types of weapons such as cluster bombs and phosphorus weapons.
On November 9, the leaders of the Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a statement on the cessation of all hostilities in Artsakh. According to the document, the parties stopped at where they were at that time. The town of Shushi, the districts of Agdam, Kelbajar and Lachin are handed over to Azerbaijan, with the exception of a 5-kilometer corridor connecting Karabakh with Armenia.
A Russian peacekeeping contingent has been deployed along the contact line in Karabakh and along the Lachin corridor. Internally displaced persons and refugees are returning to Karabakh and adjacent regions, prisoners of war, hostages and other detained persons and bodies of the dead are being exchanged.--0-
