The Washington Post: Pashinyan’s resignation would offer a chance to save our dignity – Artur Vanetsyan
A number of international mass media referred today to the domestic political situation in Armenia.
Among them The Washington Post, ABC News, Independent, San Francisco Chronicle and Houston Chronicle.
The mass media note about the rallies in Armenia’s capital with the demand of PM Nikol Pashinyan’s resignation following the trilateral agreement signed on November 9 by leaders of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan which the Armenian critics see as betrayal of national interests.
“The peace agreement Pashinyan signed saw the return to Azerbaijan of a significant part of Nagorno-Karabakh. It also obliged Armenia to hand over all of the regions it held outside the separatist region,” the media write.
The media say Armenian opposition leaders hold Pashinyan responsible for failing to negotiate an earlier end to the hostilities at terms that could have been more beneficial for Armenia.
However, Artur Vanetsyan, the former head of the National Security Service who leads the Homeland opposition party, has emphasized that the opposition wasn’t pushing for the annulment of the peace deal, the media say.
“The current authorities that have suffered a complete failure must step down immediately and allow other political forces to try to at least improve the situation. Pashinyan’s resignation would offer a chance to save our dignity,” Vanetsyan said.
