Former Armenian VP demands dismissal of Nikol Pashinyan

The dismissial of Nikol Pashinyan will raise our hopes that we can change something, said former Vice Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Arpine Hovhannisyan, Azvision.az reports.

"On November 15, we must leave Kalbajar in accordance with an embarrassing agreement on surrendering. Since yesterday, many people have been asking me what to do. My answer is that there is still a chance. For this, it is necessary to demand the dismissial of Nikol Pashinyan. After that we can hope to change something. 2 years ago we elected NIkol Pashinyan as a Prime Minister. Therefore, we had to choose our homeland. Today , we have to make a choice between between Pashinyan and our homeland", she added.

Following over a month of military action to liberate its territories from Armenian occupation, Azerbaijan has pushed Armenia to sign the surrender document. A joint statement on the matter was made by Azerbaijani president, Armenia's PM and the president of Russia.

A complete ceasefire and a cessation of all hostilities in the zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is introduced at 00:00 hours (Moscow time) on 10 November 2020.

Armenian Armed Forces launched a large-scale military attack on positions of Azerbaijani army on the front line, using large-caliber weapons, mortars and artillery on Sept. 27. Azerbaijan responded with a counter-offensive along the entire front.

Back in July 2020, Armenian Armed Forces violated the ceasefire in the direction of Azerbaijan's Tovuz district. As a result of Azerbaijan's retaliation, the opposing forces were silenced. The fighting continued the following days as well. Azerbaijan lost a number of military personnel members, who died fighting off the attacks of the Armenian Armed Forces.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, Armenian Armed Forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts. The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations.
