Opposition figure Gulu Mammadli stated that the arrest of Ali Karimli, leader of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan (PFPA), was expected, but the reasons go beyond simple criticism of the authorities. According to Mammadli, Karimli's publications in major Western media have increased his political significance and visibility abroad, which has caused concern among the Azerbaijani authorities.
The Government of Armenia has completed the stage of work on the text of the peace treaty with Azerbaijan and transmitted it with its proposals, said Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. However, according to him, the real objectives of the Azerbaijani blockade of the Lachin Corridor in Karabakh are becoming clearer to the international community.
The only goal of Baku’s actions is to complete the ethnic cleansing of the Armenians of Nagorny Karabakh. If earlier the world community was suspicious of the Armenian side’s claims about the humanitarian crisis, now it becomes more obvious», - said Pashinyan.
Azerbaijan called unacceptable the interference of Yerevan in the process of reintegration of Armenians of Karabakh. "Karabakh is an integral part of Azerbaijan, the rights and security of the population living in the region will be ensured in accordance with the Constitution," said Baku.
