Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan may be accused of treason for his agreement on the delimitation of the border with Azerbaijan, according to the Armenian Prosecutor General Anna Vardapetyan.
Ara Zohrabyan, a lawyer and former chairman of the Armenian Bar Association, and Hayk Naapetyan, a reserve colonel of the Armenian Armed Forces, submitted a demand to the Prosecutor General's Office to bring Pashinyan to justice for delimiting the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
According to the authors of the demand, Pashinyan illegally surrendered the territories of Armenia and should be charged with treason.
“The claim has been sent to the National Security Council to verify the documents, including a number of property certificates attached to the document. After the verification, the issue of initiating a criminal case will be discussed,” Vardapetyan said.
What preceded it
On April 19, Armenia and Azerbaijan first announced an agreement on border delimitation in the area of several border settlements.
A few days later, they began installing border posts in that area.
This happened after Azerbaijan took control of the entire Nagorno-Karabakh as a result of its “anti-terrorist operation.”
