Artsakh president says ready to resign
Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) President Arayik Harutyunyan has confirmed his readiness to step down and join the militia.
Addressing a rally in Stepanakert on Monday evening, Harutyunyan said he considered resignation a few days ago, Artsakh journalist Tatevik Aghajanyan reported.
His comments came after an extended sitting of the Artsakh National Assembly. The demonstrators gathered at Stepanakert's Renaissance Square hours after Azerbaijani border guards kidnapped three young Artsakh men in the Lachin Corridor, accusing them of “mocking the Azerbaijani flag” in 2021.
Harutyunyan rejected any humanitarian supplies to Artsakh via an alternative route bypassing the Lachin Corridor blocked by Baku for more than eight months now.
Meanwhile, he unveiled no possible dates for the reopening of the Lachin Corridor, the sole road linking Artsakh to Armenia.
