The Armenian authorities have not signed any document (on the settlement of relations with Azerbaijan - ed.) and do not plan to do so, the official statement of the National Security Service of the republic stated, addressed to the population.

The agency assured that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's speech was distorted and deliberately falsified by various media outlets. The NSS urged the Armenian population not to succumb to manipulations and confirmed that no document on the settlement of relations with Azerbaijan had been signed or was being prepared for signing. The structure maintains that the Prime Minister spoke in parliament solely about the readiness to sign a document ensuring Armenia's security, sovereignty and lasting peace.

It should only be noted that the media simply quoted the words of the head of the Government himself:

"We want to sign a document, because of which many people will start criticizing us, cursing us, and calling us traitors. Even if the people decide to remove us from power, we will still be happy and grateful. Especially if, as a result, the Republic of Armenia of 29,800 square kilometers finds lasting peace and security. I am saying very clearly: I will sign the decision that will ensure that. And I am not interested in what will happen to me afterwards. I am interested in what will happen to the Republic of Armenia," Pashinyan said.

In response to this statement thousands of citizens began a spontaneous rally near the parliament. The NSC hastened to accuse the media of distorting Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan's words.
