ArmInfo. The circumstances of the outcome of hostilities in the conflict zone around Nagorno-Karabakh should be established by the investigation.
The second president of Armenia, Robert Kocharian, stated this on March 4 at a press conference by the Russian media. "I have very serious doubts. What is the motivation behind this, the investigating authorities should investigate. We have reasonable assumptions that something has gone wrong here," Kocharian said, reports TASS. He added that in recent years the Armenian army was considered one of the best in the South Caucasus by many military experts.
The situation in the conflict zone around Nagorno-Karabakh escalated on September 27, 2020, and active hostilities began there. Baku and Yerevan have disputed the ownership of the region since February 1988, when it announced its secession from the Azerbaijan SSR.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, Azerbaijani leader Ilham Aliyev and Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan on November 9 signed a joint statement on the complete cessation of hostilities in Karabakh. According to document, the Azerbaijani and Armenian sides settled on occupied positions, a number of areas came under the control of Baku, and Russian peacekeepers were deployed along the line of contact and the Lachin corridor. In Armenia, after the signing of the statement, protests began with calls for Pashinyan's resignation. The opposition made him responsible for the conditions on which he signed the document.
