During the conversation with the media, Putin was asked if there is a danger that those who refuse to continue to comply with the ceasefire agreement in Karabakh will come to power in Armenia.
"It would be suicide ... Prime Minister (of Armenia Nikol. -

) Pashinyan ... outlined the true state of affairs, as it was at the time of signing our trilateral statement and as it is today," the Russian leader replied.
He also noted that before the signing of the trilateral statement, the situation in the conflict zone was developing for Armenia in such a way that "the clock went off" and it was required to immediately stop hostilities.
Putin added that the accusations against Pashinyan of betrayal have no basis.
"A belligerent or in danger of renewed hostilities ... the country still cannot afford to behave in such a way ... to split society from the inside," the Russian president concluded.
According to him, this is "unacceptable, counterproductive and highly dangerous."
Earlier, Pashinyan took responsibility for what happened in Karabakh.
He also stated that if the hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh had not been stopped, then 30 thousand Armenian soldiers would be under the threat of encirclement.
On the night of November 10, Putin, Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed a statement on a ceasefire in Karabakh.
