Ceasefire in NK does not mean that Baku will no longer try to drag  Armenia into  war - Pashinyan

Ceasefire in NK does not mean that Baku will no longer try to drag  Armenia into  war - Pashinyan

ArmInfo.Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan insists that one of the goals of Azerbaijan's aggression  against Nagorno-Karabakh was to involve Armenia in the war. He announced on the evening of September 21 during a Facebook live broadcast.

According to Pashinyan, even on the day of Azerbaijan's attack on  Nagorno-Karabakh, he put forward the hypothesis that one of the goals  of "this process" is to involve Armenia in hostilities and create  chaos in Armenia. "And the fact that a ceasefire has been established  today does not mean that this issue (involving the Republic of  Armenia in the war, ed. note) is not on the agenda of those who put  it on the agenda," he pointed out.

The Prime Minister, as on September 20, immediately after  Stepanakert's statement about accepting the RPC's ceasefire proposal,  emphasized that Armenia did not take part in the development of the  document, "was not a party to the discussion of the conditions." "We  were informed that similar processes were taking place, but we did  not take part in it in any way. And I expressed my bewilderment in  the context that this document mentions the withdrawal of a unit of  the Armed Forces of Armenia under the conditions when Yerevan has  repeatedly stated that there is no Armenian army in  Nagorno-Karabakh," he said.  Pashinyan indicated that "the process of  establishing a truce was led by representatives of the RPC together  with representatives of Nagorno-Karabakh." According to him, all  decisions in Nagorno-Karabakh were made by the Nagorno-Karabakh  authorities in an expanded format - with the participation of the  government, members of the National Assembly, as well as the former  leaders of the country.

On September 19, after Azerbaijan's attack on Nagorno-Karabakh,  Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, during a Facebook live  broadcast, "recorded attempts to involve Armenia in military  escalation." He called on the citizens of the Republic of Armenia to  treat the situation soberly, with a cool head, and to refrain from  any "uncalculated, abrupt, adventurous actions." On September 20,  after Stepanakert's statement about accepting the RPC's proposal for  a ceasefire, in particular, on the terms of the "withdrawal of the  remaining units and military personnel of the Armed Forces of the  Republic of Armenia" from Nagorno-Karabakh, Pashinyan noted that  "mentioning the name of Republic of Armenia in a text "which has  basically nothing to do with the Republic of Armenia " justifies his  hypothesis, voiced yesterday, that one of the goals of this  aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh was to involve Armenia in  military operations, which would ultimately jeopardize the  sovereignty and independence of the  RA. He also stated that from now  on, the obligation to fully and unconditionally protect the Armenians  of the NK, and ensure the rights of Armenians to live with dignity  and safety in their homes, on their land, becomes the obligation of  the RPC, and the RA authorities <in practical terms will monitor  developments".
