Vitaly Balasanyan to Pashinyan: to say that Shushi fell because of Gagik Tsarukyan is to make fun of the army. It shows that you do not understand anything about war. Shushi was supposed to be defended by the army, and not by individuals and volunteers.
Seyran Ohanyan: The authorities must be held accountable for the defeat: it was not the army that lost, but the state, and a very bad document stands before the Armenian people. This is unambiguous, and the responsibility for this should be borne by the current government.

MFA of Russia Sergey Lavrov: The Armenian opposition is trying to manipulate the topic of the agreements on Nagorno Karabakh - RIA
Lavrov: If it was possible to reach a diplomatic agreement on Nagorno- Karabakh sooner, the 5 regions would have been transferred to Azerbaijan, but only in a peaceful way.
Lavrov: The Russian-Turkish Monitoring Center for Karabakh will operate remotely using drones.
1. Signing this sad document, I knew that I was under threat not only politically, but also physically, but it was more important for me to save the lives of 25 thousand of our soldiers - Pashinyan
2. Why I resign in order not to sign this document? This would be desertion and an attempt to leave a difficult situation to another leader - Pashinyan
3. This document does not imply a meaningful solution to the Karabakh conflict. This document is about ending the war in Karabakh. The Karabakh conflict was not resolved then, and it is not resolved now - Pashinyan
1. Whoever sold the land, we sold it as nation, we betrayed our 18-20 year old soldiers - Arayik Harutyunyan
2. We left 18 year old soldiers alone, we left volunteer detachments - Arayik Harutyunyan
3. The politicians who are trying to find traitors today, let them present information about the participation of their children, their relatives. You cheated by taking "selfies" - Arayik Harutyunyan
Important points from what Prime Minister of Armenia, Pashinyan said today:
1. This very painful decision on Karabakh allowed to preserve what could not be withheld as a result of the continuation of the war.
2. The logic of the [trilateral] agreement is not in the surrender of territories, but in the preservation of territories that could be preserved by that time - Pashinyan
3. We could have lost everything, but they kept what was possible. Stepanakert, Askeran, Martuni would have been captured. After their fall, our defensive areas and thousands of soldiers would be surrounded - Pashinyan
Opposition parties in Armenia protesting against the trilateral agreement on Karabakh in front of the Opera building/Freedom Square in Yerevan today.
The Prosecutor General's Office of Armenia urged citizens to refrain from organizing, holding or participating in rallies during the martial law regime in the country.
Police arrested 129 protesters from Yerevan's Freedom Square - press service of the Police department
If that is the case, why didn't Armenia opt for such drones of Chinese origin which Serbia recently acquired.
They only cost 1/10 the price of one unit of Su-30SM which were recently bought, and not used in the latest war. Or in the best case,they had very limited usage.
Satellite photo published on October 9 (didn't want to share it at the time) showed Armenia's Su-30SM jets parked in a place where it's not usual. With the camo netting on top of them, it gave the impression that they were hidden from potential missiles strikes on the airbase.
The way they are parked doesn't leave the impression that they were regularly deployed.
