"The statement of November 9 was the fifth attempt to stop the war;" prime minister
"On November 9, 2020, I signed the tripartite statement of the President of Russia, the President of Azerbaijan, and the Prime Minister of Armenia on stopping the second Karabakh war." Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced this today at the NA investigative committee session and answered why he signed the document and the war stopped on November 9.
"Here, of course, the process of Shushi's fall played a turning point. What is important here is not only Shushi's symbolic value but also its strategic value. After the loss of Shushi, Stepanakert would come under attack, the pressure on Martuni, Nagorno-Karabakh would inevitably increase, and, most importantly, about 25,000 of our soldiers would be at risk of being encircled," said the Prime Minister, and emphasized that on November 9 the declaration was the fifth attempt to stop the war. "The first such conversation occurred on October 7, when I called Russian President Vladimir Putin on his birthday."
