"Dear compatriots,
Today we spent the whole day with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, discussing our actions aimed at the cessation of hostilities. I have previously had discussions with the National Assembly of the Artsakh Republic and received the consent of the overwhelming majority of the deputies.
Given the current hard situation and to avoid further heavy casualties and the complete loss of Artsakh, I have agreed to end the war an hour earlier. As for the signed trilateral statement, I will talk about it in detail later.
My deepest condolences to the relatives of our martyrs and to all the people. We will still have time to have a dialogue with the relatives of the fallen heroes and our military about what to do. I pay tribute to all the people who made even a small contribution to the hard work of defending the Homeland".
Artsakh President Arayik Harutyunyan wrote about this.
