Azerbaijan is ready to meet with the Armenians of Karabakh, and in Yerevan they demand Pashinyan to intervene in the conflict

Clashes between protesters and police continue near the government building in Yerevan. Demonstrators are demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

A police officer was injured during a protest. Several participants were also reported to have sought medical attention.

Another demonstration took place near the Russian Embassy in Yerevan. Those gathered demanded that Russian peacekeepers stationed in Nagorno-Karabakh protect the inhabitants of the region from Azerbaijani aggression.

Employees of the UN office in Yerevan met with activists demanding the deployment of international peacekeepers to Nagorno-Karabakh. They promised to convey the protesters' demands to the organization's leadership in New York.

In turn, Azerbaijan is ready to meet with representatives of the Armenian population of Karabakh if they fulfill a number of conditions. “To stop anti-terrorist measures, illegal Armenian armed groups must raise the white flag, surrender all weapons, and the illegal regime of Karabakh must dissolve itself,” said the administration of President Aliyev.
