On July 8, 1992, the legislature of the Republic of Armenia adopted a decision, expressing the commitment to consistently support protection of the rights of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and its population and deem any international or domestic document indicating the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic as a part of Azerbaijan to be unacceptable for the Republic of Armenia. This is what Armenian political scientist Edgar Elbakyan wrote on his Facebook page, calling the attention of mass media outlets. Elbakyan added the following:

“By signing and freely implementing the written trilateral statement of November 9, 2020, by which the de facto occupation by Azerbaijan of Artsakh in general and a part of the territories of the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast, the de facto leader of the Republic of Armenia has violated a law.

If “the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan is recognized” on the basis of this new capitulation and unlawful document, not only the de facto leader of the state, but also all deputies who vote IN FAVOR will become double criminals.”
