Pashinyan: all instigators of Yerevan protests to be punished

All instigators of protests in Yerevan early on Tuesday will be harshly punished, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in his address to the nation on his Facebook page.

"Some instigators in Yerevan were in Karabakh, but for some reason they left their positions and ran away from there. There is a general among them. I state officially that all instigators will be punished to the fullest extent of the law," Pashinyan said.

On November 9, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a joint statement on a complete ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh. The Russian leader said the Azerbaijani and Armenian sides would remain on the positions they hold and Russian peacekeepers would be deployed to the region. Besides, Armenia and Azerbaijan should carry out the exchange of prisoners of war and the bodies of those killed. Aghdam region will be returned to Azerbaijan before November 20, Kelbajar region - before November 15, Lachin region - before December 1.
