Tigran Abrahamyan, secretary of the I Have Honor parliamentary faction, wrote on his Facebook page that clauses 4 and 5 of the document signed in Washington “undermine the Karabakh movement and the rights of the Armenians of Karabakh.”
He stated that the so-called peace document not only eliminates the legal foundation of Artsakh but also lays the groundwork for the prosecution of all individuals and groups advocating for the restoration of Karabakh Armenians’ rights and their collective return.
“Through clauses 4 and 5, from different angles, the Karabakh movement and the rights of Karabakh Armenians are being destroyed. These same people once boasted about being the generation of Karabakh victories and its bearers, holding days-long celebrations in Artsakh, declaring Aghdam as part of the homeland, and making pompous toasts—until the moment when political circumstances shifted under external signals. Now they have entered a Turkish honeymoon phase,” Abrahamyan wrote.
On August 8, at the White House, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed a joint declaration on the results of their meeting in Washington. During the same event, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov, in the presence of the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the United States, initialed the “Agreement on the Establishment of Peace and Interstate Relations between the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan.”
