Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev demands the dissolution of the National Assembly of Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrender of President Arayik Harutyunyan.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev presented a number of demands to the authorities of Nagorno-Karabakh. He demanded the complete dissolution of the National Assembly of the unrecognized republic, as well as the resignation of all ministers and deputies. Among other conditions proposed by Aliyev, Nagorno-Karabakh President Arayik Harutyunyan must surrender to the Azerbaijani authorities.

According to Aliyev, the fulfillment of these conditions will allow all the mentioned persons to receive an "amnesty". The details of this "amnesty", in particular, under what conditions and what guarantees it implies, the President of Azerbaijan did not specify.

"Nagorno-Karabakh must recognize the powers of Azerbaijan and dissolve its current state structures. This is a necessary step towards resolving the situation and ensuring long-term stability in the region," Aliyev said.

This call met with mixed reactions in the international arena and sparked discussions about the further development of the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh. However, the response of the authorities of Nagorno-Karabakh to Aliyev's demands is still unknown.

The region of Nagorno-Karabakh has long been the subject of a dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan, both countries claimed to belong to it. This conflict led to a series of military clashes that attracted international attention and raised concerns about stability in the region.

Aliyev's proposal, despite his position, is a notable interference in the internal affairs of Nagorno-Karabakh. Despite the fact that the unrecognized republic remains the object of an international dispute, it has its own system of government and declarations of its dissolution could cause new unrest in the region.
