He said he hoped the agreements “will set up necessary conditions for long-lasting and full-scale settlement of the crisis over Nagorno-Karabakh.”
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in a post on social media, said the agreement was “incredibly painful both for me and both for our people”.
He added that his decision was based on “deep analyses of the combat situation and in discussion with best experts of the field”.
“This is not a victory but there is not defeat until you consider yourself defeated,” the prime minister said.
