Today, Wednesday, a Russian-Turkish center to monitor the ceasefire between Armenia and Azerbaijan was announced, a day after the declaration of a cessation of hostilities in the Karabakh region, at a time when the Armenian parliament is meeting to discuss the removal of the prime minister, who is accused by protesters of treason by accepting a truce that improves field achievements for Azerbaijan.
For its part, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Moscow and Ankara had agreed to establish a joint center to monitor the ceasefire between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The Russian Ministry stated that the center for monitoring the cessation of hostilities will be in Azerbaijan, outside the Karabakh region.
In the same context, the fate of the Prime Minister of Armenia is at stake today after the Parliament agreed to discuss protesters’ demands for his removal due to the signing of the ceasefire agreement, which guaranteed Azerbaijan to achieve territorial gains over the terrain in the disputed region.
The truce announced yesterday ended the fighting that lasted 6 weeks and was the worst escalation of the conflict in the mountainous enclave in decades, but Azerbaijan celebrated the agreement as “historic”.
Go away traitor
Thousands of Armenians demonstrated in the capital, Yerevan, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, and hundreds of rallies in Parliament, chanting slogans describing him as a traitor.
After protesters set a midnight deadline for Pashinyan’s resignation, Parliament announced that it would hold a special session tonight to discuss these demands.
For his part, Pashinyan said he had no choice but to sign the ceasefire agreement, in order to avoid further losses on the ground.
He added that he signed the agreement under pressure from the army. He admitted that what the matter came to was “a catastrophic failure” and said that he is personally responsible for these setbacks, but rejected calls to resign.
As for the Karabakh leader, he said the battles have reached the point where Azerbaijan risks controlling the entire region, having captured the second largest city in it.
Although Baku praised the agreement, which it considered a victory, some Azerbaijani citizens are frustrated that their country’s forces stopped fighting before regaining control over the entire region, while others expressed concern about the arrival of peacekeepers from Russia. , which dominated the region in the Soviet era.
