During the parliamentary session, Deputy Speaker Ruben Rubinyan addressed members of the Armenia faction, accusing them of shifting debates into an emotional sphere.

He emphasized that their primary goal was to ensure Armenians remained in Nagorno-Karabakh, Radar.am reports.

"When one approach failed, we sought another. If that meant lowering the bar, we had to do it. Meanwhile, you pursued a path of rhetoric-driven politics and an insatiable desire to change power first in Artsakh, then in Armenia. This ultimately led to the current reality—there are now zero Armenians left in Karabakh," he said.

On September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan launched a large-scale attack on Artsakh, subjecting the entire region to intense shelling. The next day, on September 20, Artsakh's authorities accepted a ceasefire proposal from the Russian peacekeeping command, agreeing to Baku’s terms, which included the disarmament of the Artsakh Defense Army and the dissolution of the Republic of Artsakh. Starting September 24, a mass exodus began, with over 100,000 people forcibly displaced to Armenia. According to some reports, around 20 Armenians remain in Artsakh. On September 28, Artsakh’s President Samvel Shahramanyan signed a decree on the dissolution of the republic, which came into force on January 1, 2024.
