It’s simply not possible,” Khudatyan wrote. Khudatyan, along with Taron Chakhoyan, Deputy Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister, both highlighted this specific part of Kocharyan’s statement. Chakhoyan wrote: “Kocharyan hates the Armenian people, hates Armenia. He says it wasn’t pleasant to engage with people, to travel across the country.” Grigoryan added that the situation around the world and particularly in the region is very difficult. The Armenian Defense Ministry has denied Azerbaijan's accusations of violating the ceasefire. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan took to social media to thank his Lithuanian counterpart for the contribution. President of the Armenian parliament Alen Simonyan met with the Speaker of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova. Partner news |
