Armenian FM resigns amid turmoil over Nagorno-Karabakh truce


 

Armenia’s foreign minister submitted his resignation Monday amid political turmoil that has engulfed the country following a cease-fire deal for the separatist region of Nagorno-Karabakh that calls for ceding territory to longtime adversary Azerbaijan. Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan’s resignation was announced by his spokeswoman Monday. Anna Nagdhalyan posted his handwritten resignation letter on Facebook shortly after Pashinian said in parliament he decided to dismiss him.


Earlier Monday, the ministry publicly disagreed with Pashinian over the course of Nagorno-Karabakh peace talks.


Pashinian said during an online news conference earlier Monday that there had been offers to cede Azerbaijani regions Armenia controlled around Nagorno-Karabakh and the city of Shusha, which is strategically located near the territory’s capital Stepanakert.


Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Naghdalyan quickly retorted on Facebook that giving up Shusha was never on the agenda at any stage of the peace negotiations.
