In that document, the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh’s status was placed in parentheses—a sort of “gentlemen’s agreement,” implying that the final status of Nagorno-Karabakh would be determined later through negotiations between the parties.

Azerbaijan offered the Armenian authorities $5 billion in exchange for Karabakh back in October 2018, through then-head of the National Security Service Arthur Vanetsyan, according to Mikael Minasyan, former Armenian ambassador to the Vatican and son-in-law of ex-President Serzh Sargsyan. Minasyan made the claim in a post on his official Facebook page.

the missile strikes on Gandja — senseless from a military standpoint — were carried out by the President of the Republic of Artsakh Arayik Harutyunyan on the orders of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Moreover, Pashinyan rejected Russia’s ceasefire proposal in early October 2020. As a result, the ceasefire arrangements were violated, and hostilities continued. Nikol Pashinyan and Arayik Harutyunyan bear responsibility for the decisions that led to numerous casualties and the loss of territories, including the town of Shushi, on the Armenian side between October 10 and November 9, 2020.

If the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) wins the majority of votes in the upcoming parliamentary elections, the incumbent Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan will remain in office. This statement was made by Armenian President and RPA Chairman Serzh Sargsyan at the party’s congress in Yerevan.
