Nikol Pashinyan is blamed for the ceasefire violation due to his order to launch a missile strike on Ganja
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.
