YEREVAN, MAY 22, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has revealed the terms of the 2020 Nagorno Karabakh ceasefire agreement which Armenia rejected during the drafting phase.
“Yes, there were items which we removed, and we said that we won’t sign it no matter what. One of the items pertained to the enclaves, the other pertained to a corridor through the territory of Armenia,” Pashinyan said on Monday.
Pashinyan said that there were officials who were in favor of signing the agreement with the clause on enclaves. “In the future, some of those people accused us of treason and demanded our resignation, but this is a fact. I regret that these conversations weren’t recorded, because in that case many people wouldn’t have the option of speaking,” he said.
PM Pashinyan said he held a discussion with various officials before signing the 9 November 2020 trilateral statement. Pashinyan said that during the meeting he told those present that the matter wouldn’t be put up for vote in order not to place responsibility on others. After the discussions he decided to sign the document.
Some of those present emotionally didn’t want the document to be signed. Pashinyan said he himself didn’t want to sign it emotionally.
