On November 10, during a meeting to discuss the “Plan for the Development of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia for 2023-2027”, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan accused Azerbaijan. In particular, he announced Azerbaijan’s “failure to fulfill” its obligations under the tripartite declaration dated November 10, 2020.

According to Pashinyan, Azerbaijan “did not take steps to start a dialogue visible to the international community with representatives of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh,” although there was no such clause in the tripartite statement.

The Prime Minister of Armenia, arguing that no transport routes between the western regions of Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan were stipulated, and therefore Baku should be content with the options proposed by Yerevan, he himself admitted that on December 14, 2021 in Brussels, in the presence of Charles Michel, the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to start restoration of the railway communication “Yeraskh-Ordubad-Meghri-Horadiz”.

Pashinyan also interpreted in his own way the agreements on the presence of Russian peacekeepers in Karabakh, declaring that their stay in the region is “indefinite”.

In general, it follows from today’s statements and aggressive rhetoric of Pashinyan that Armenia does not intend to fulfill its obligations to withdraw all Armenian military forces from the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, open a corridor to Nakhchivan, and sign a peace treaty with Baku on mutual recognition of territorial integrity.

Apparently, Armenia is deliberately going to disrupt the peace process, counting on the support of its external patrons and with plans to prepare for a military revenge.
