Pashinyan criticized in Karabakh and Armenia for fundamental concessions to Azerbaijan

The parliament of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh called on the former and current presidents of Armenia to condemn Nikol Pashinyan's statement on recognizing the republic as part of Azerbaijan.
Ex-president of Armenia Robert Kocharyan reacted to the appeal, criticizing the deputies for the fact that they, “not noticing the surrender of Karabakh to Azerbaijan in time”, supported the Armenian authorities in the 2021 elections. Kocharyan wrote: “Do not dare to shift responsibility from a sick head to a healthy one ... My approaches have not changed - we must fight for the Motherland, and not imitate war.

The ex-head of Karabakh, a citizen of the Russian Federation and billionaire Ruben Vardanyan said that the recognition of Karabakh by the Prime Minister of Armenia as part of Azerbaijan does not mean a final decision. He noted that this is Pashinyan’s personal opinion, which the latter is trying to impose on the people: “He has no right to make decisions for the people living independently. Pashinyan's anti-rating is unique - 96%.
