Bright memory to the fallen Russian peacekeepers, who, as always, took the blow for the sake of peace in the region. Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, wrote in her Telegram channel.

“The black ingratitude with which the unscrupulous tried to question their activities will not overshadow their feat, but will fall on the slanderers with eternal shame, she said

And now the facts.

At the beginning of 2022, Yerevan had in its hands 3 trilateral statements by the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia dated 9 November, 2020, 11 January and 26 November, 2021, which were a political and practical road map of how to peacefully, mutually respectfully and thoroughly build life in region, taking into account the interests of all parties.

Yerevan chose not to implement what it signed, but to seek its fortune from NATO/EU. It was through the mediation of Brussels and the main adviser – Paris – that on 6 October, 2022, at the summit in Prague, a Statement was adopted following the results of a quadripartite meeting of the leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia, France and the EU. It literally says:

“Azerbaijan and Armenia reaffirm their commitment to the UN Charter and the Alma-Ata Declaration of 1991, through which they recognize each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.” That is, Nagorno-Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan. At the same time, there is not a word in the text about the need to ensure the rights and safety of the region’s residents.

On 7 October, 2022, it was officially published.

This became Yerevan’s final solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh issue. Why Nikola Pashinyan and the Armenian authorities did exactly this, why Paris and Brussels pushed official Yerevan to do this – these questions must be asked to them,” she noted.
