Azerbaijan’s president described a deal reached early Tuesday (Nov. 10) to halt fighting over the Nagorno-Karabakh region as the defeat of Armenia.
“PASHINYAN SIGNED AGREEMENT DUE TO BAKU’S IRON FIST”
In a televised address, Ilham Aliyev announced the end of the Karabakh conflict between Baku and Yerevan with the new agreement.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the signing of the deal by Azerbaijan and Armenia earlier in the day.
Aliyev said Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed the agreement due to Baku’s “iron fist,” not Yerevan’s own will.
He said the liberation of around 300 settlements in the region since Sept. 27 has weakened the Armenian army.
