Garik Avetisyan, a member of the opposition Armenian Revolutionary Federation-ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party, also announced an indefinite hunger strike in front of the main government building in Yerevan, and demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of Armenia.
According to Avetisyan, he has taken such an extreme step to show the general public that human life has no value for the incumbent Armenian authorities and the latter are just clinging to their seats of power.
On November 9, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a joint statement on a complete cessation of hostilities— which Azerbaijan had launched on September 27—in and around Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). Accordingly, Russian peacekeepers are deployed in the region to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire and the cessation of hostilities. But this statement also stipulates the handover of part of Artsakh lands to Azerbaijan.
