Zhoghovurd daily of the RA (Republic of Armenia) writes as follows, in particular: Azerbaijan won overwhelmingly from the Pashinyan-Trump-Aliyev trilateral negotiations held in Washington on August 8 at the White House, where there can be no second opinion. How? Let’s explain.

Azerbaijan received:

  1. A corridor that Armenia provided to it through the US.
  2. The dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group, which closed the page on the return of the Armenians of Artsakh [(Nagorno-Karabakh)].
  3. Azerbaijan achieved the fact that the European monitors will leave Armenia.
  4. Section 907 [of the US Freedom Support Act that bans any kind of direct US aid to the Azerbaijani government] was canceled.
  5. Azerbaijan does not have a clear direction, as it recognizes the territorial integrity of the RA on a map.
  6. All international lawsuits [by Armenia] against Azerbaijan will be withdrawn.

(…).

Thus, in exchange for all the concessions, Armenia receives nothing: only a document titled “peace” and half-promises.

We consider it necessary to inform the RA citizens also about [the fact that] that the treaty will be signed [by Azerbaijan only] when Armenia changes its fundamental law, the Constitution.

Does Armenia need such a “Peace Treaty” which cedes a corridor, divides the country, handing over parts of the enclaves to Azerbaijan, specific territories from the Tavush, Ararat, Vayots Dzor Provinces [of Armenia], loses the European monitors, the Russian military base, is prohibited from purchasing weapons, and is prohibited from self-defense?

Is this peace or capitulation?
