NAGORNO-KARABAKH ANNOUNCES CESSATION OF EXISTENCE OF UNRECOGNIZED REPUBLIC

 

 

TEHRAN (FNA)- The Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh will cease to exist from January 1, 2024, as president of the unrecognized republic Samvel Shahramanyan signed a decree dissolving all state institutions.

In the decree, Shahramanyan referred to the difficult military-political situation that has arisen, Sputnik reported.

"Based on the priority of ensuring the physical security and vital interests of the people of Karabakh, taking into account the agreement reached through the mediation of the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent with representatives of Azerbaijan that free, voluntary and unimpeded passage of residents of Nagorno-Karabakh, including military personnel who have laid down their arms, with their property is ensured on their vehicles along the Lachin corridor ... a decision was made: to dissolve all state institutions and organizations under their departmental subordination until January 1, 2024, and the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) ceases to exist," the decree read.


"The population of Nagorno-Karabakh, including those outside the Republic, after the entry into force of this Decree, should familiarize themselves with the conditions of reintegration presented by the Republic of Azerbaijan in order to make an independent and individual decision on the possibility of staying (returning) in Nagorno-Karabakh," the decree said.

The decree goes into effect immediately after publication.

Last week, Baku announced the launch of "local anti-terrorist activities" in the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh aimed at "restoring the constitutional order".

Yerevan described the operation as aggression against the population of Nagorno-Karabakh and reiterated that it had no military presence in the disputed region. The next day, Azerbaijan and representatives of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh agreed on a complete cessation of hostilities through the mediation of Russian peacekeepers.



On September 21, in the Azerbaijani city of Yevlakh, representatives of Karabakh Armenians met with the delegation of Azerbaijan to discuss reintegration of the region into the republic. The Russian Defense Ministry announced September 22 that Karabakh armed units began to surrender weapons and military equipment under the control of Russian peacekeepers.

Azerbaijani presidential aide Hikmet Hajiyev stated September 22 that the reintegration of Karabakh Armenians into the economic, political and social life of Azerbaijan will be difficult, and some could decide to leave. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, at a meeting with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan on September 25, expressed confidence that the reintegration process will be successful.

US ‘Biggest Nuclear Threat’: China

  TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The United States poses the greatest danger to the world when it comes to the risks of a potential nuclear conflict, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaogang told journalists on Friday. Beijing has accused Washington of making “irresponsible decisions” in attempts to maintain its hegemony, including through intimidating the international community with its nuclear arsenal, RT reported. The damning statement came in response to the Pentagon’s decision to upgrade US Forces Japan into a joint force headquarters under the command of a three-star officer reporting to the commander of the Indo-Pacific Command. The announcement was made by the US Defense Department in late July following the meeting of the American and Japanese defense and foreign policy chiefs. US Defense Secretary Llyod Austin hailed the development as “one of the strongest improvements in our military ties with Japan in 70 years” at that time. He also said that the two sides “held a separ...

Police Back on Bangladesh Capital’s Streets As Strike Ends

  TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Bangladeshi police resumed patrols of the capital Dhaka on Monday, ending a weeklong strike that left a law and order vacuum following the abrupt ouster of autocratic ex-premier Sheikh Hasina. Officers vanished from the streets of the sprawling megacity of 20 million people last week after Hasina’s resignation and flight abroad ended her 15-year rule, AFP reported. Police were loathed for spearheading a lethal crackdown on the weeks of protests that forced her departure, with 42 officers among the more than 450 people killed. Police had vowed not to resume work until their safety on duty was guaranteed, but they agreed to return after late-night talks with the new interim government, helmed by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus. “It’s good to be back,” assistant commissioner Snehasish Das said while standing at a busy intersection directing traffic. “As we feel secure now, we are back on duty.” Student-led protests against Hasina’s government had been largely peace...
