Armenia’s former Ambassador to the Holy See Mikayel Minasyan has published a part of a “new document” on the demarcation of borders between Armenia and Azerbaijan on his Telegram channel late on Wednesday.

“The supreme liar [referring to caretaker PM Nikol Pashinyan] has reached a point where Aliyev is forcing him to confirm his agreement containing ultimatums in writing. And we, by allowing him to remain in office, have deprived ourselves of any choice,” he wrote.

“This is the document that I had written about on Facebook.

1. These are the first paragraphs on the first page of the document being agreed upon.

2. It also has an encrypted part (in addition to the verbal agreements between Nikol and Aliyev)

3. Nikol has agreed to everything, but has not signed it yet.

4. He has set forth three preconditions for signing it: to withdraw Azerbaijani troops from Armenia and return at least a few prisoners of war before the elections, and to make the text on the handover of 6 villages as vague as possible in order to ensure his easy re-election.

[Armenian acting FM] Ara Aivazian refused to have anything to do with this document, noting that the Foreign Ministry is against it.

The only way to avoid this is to get rid of Nikol as quickly as possible. As long as he remains in office, this disgraceful process will continue," Minasyan said, adding the hashtag #antinikol.
