Ahead of UNSC discussions, Pashinyan declares that there is no direct  threat to population of NK and that evacuation should not be `Plan  A`, nor even `Plan B`

ArmInfo. Today in Yevlakh there was a meeting between representatives of Stepanakert and  representatives of Baku. An agreement was reached to hold regular meetings. Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan announced on the evening of September 21 during a Facebook live broadcast.

As the prime minister pointed out, the partners from Nagorno-Karabakh  have not yet released official information about the meeting.  "Azerbaijan, at least in its official statement, tried to create the  impression that processes are proceeding in a positive direction," he  said, noting that this may be due to the upcoming UN discussion on  the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh (an urgent meeting of UN Security  Council is expected today, ed. note).

At the same time, according to the Prime Minister of the Republic of  Armenia, "evacuation should not be "Plan A", and nor even "Plan B",  but should be "Plan D". Again, Pashinyan emphasized, Yerevan adheres  to the point of view that there is no direct threat to the civilian  population of NK, especially under the conditions of a truce.

On September 19, at around 13:00, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces,  declaring the start of "local anti- terrorism measures," began  shelling the suburbs of Stepanakert and other cities of  Nagorno-Karabakh using artillery and UAVs. Civilian infrastructure  came under fire, and civilians were killed, including 13 children.   According to the latest data, the number of people killed as a result  of the Azerbaijani shelling was at least 200, and at least 400 people  were injured.  On September 20, Stepanakert announced that it had  accepted the proposals of the RPC command for a ceasefire. It was  noted that "an agreement was reached on the withdrawal of the  "remaining units and military personnel of the Armed Forces of the  Republic of Armenia" from the RPC deployment zone and the  disbandment, complete disarmament of the armed formations of the  "Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army" and the withdrawal of heavy equipment  and weapons from the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh with the aim of  their speedy disposal. Today, representatives of Nagorno-Karabakh  arrived in Yevlakh to discuss issues <on reintegration, ensuring the  rights and security of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as  ensuring the livelihoods of the population of Nagorno-Karabakh within  the framework of the Constitution of Azerbaijan".
