Artsakh Angrily Condemns Pashinyan

After Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan confirmed his agreement that Artsakh would fall under Azerbaijan’s control, the National Assembly of Artsakh convened an emergency session late Monday night and unanimously adopted a resolution expressing the legislature’s anger at the posturing by Armenia’s leader.

The lawmakers also vowed to never “waiver from its ongoing struggle.”

Addressing the parliament during the emergency session was its speaker Artur Tovmasyan, the heads of each party or bloc represented in the legislature, as well as lawmakers, who later unanimously adopted a text drafted by Vahram Balayn, the chair of the parliament’s permanent commission on foreign affairs.

“What rights, security and dialogue can we talk about when Azerbaijan has been illegally keeping Artsakh under complete blockade for 162 days?” said Speaker Tovmasyan. Ashot Danielyan, another lawmaker allied to Artsakh President Arayik Harutiunian branded Pashinyan a “capitulator,” according to Azatutyun.am
