2021-02-23 18:32:33 It’s obvious that Nikol Pashinyan no longer has power in Armenia, only the Armed Forces and the police system keep him in power.

2021-02-23 12:18:02 The POW issue is under the spotlight of the Armenian leadership. The inter-agency commission is working on all directions. The international pressure is gradually growing. As I had supposed, Azerbaijan’s policy of creating artificial obstacles for the repatriation of POWs is gradually becoming a headache for Azerbaijan itself.
