The leader of Nagorno-Karabakh, Arayik Harutyunyan, announced at a parliamentary session that the state minister of the unrecognized republic, Ruben Vardanyan, would leave his post. Prosecutor General Gurgen Nersisyan will take his place.
According to Sputnik Armenia Vardanyan’s dismissal was one of the conditions for unblocking the Lachin corridor, which has been closed since December 12, 2022.
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said at a panel discussion in Munich that Baku does not intend to conduct a dialogue with Vardanyan. It will negotiate only with a representative of the Armenian community, who was born and lived all his life in Karabakh.
Businessman Ruben Vardanyan is called in Baku “a person brought from Russia”, although he renounced the citizenship of the Russian Federation. The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly stressed that he has nothing to do with Moscow and the Russian authorities.
