Armenia agreed to a truce in Nagorno-Karabakh with the subsequent transfer of its territories to Azerbaijan, as it was in an indisputable situation. The war was ended to avoid heavy casualties.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said this, reports Arminfo.
According to him, the army and the political leadership of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh demanded to stop the war to avoid more serious consequences.
“This decision was made too forcefully,” Pashinyan said.
He also explained why Yerevan did not accept an armistice and concessions in late September as hostilities escalated.
“For the simple reason that the conditions of the ceasefire regime remained the same. That is, the transfer of 7 regions to Azerbaijan. But we could not take that step, because we believed that the Artsakh Defense Army (Nagorno- Karabakh – ed.) And the Armenian people will be able to exclude such a need, “added Pashinyan.
He noted that, under current conditions, the continuation of hostilities would have even more serious consequences.
“And is it important to say that this war was really inevitable? I want to say bluntly that there was only one chance to avoid this war: hand over these territories to Azerbaijan without accepting Karabakh status. And this, in fact, was the basis of the process. of negotiation, inherited from the previous government “, stressed the prime minister.
Recall that previously Pashinyan explained the ceasefire agreement by the fact that Armenia had problems with the mobilization of the reserve.
