The resignation came after Edita Gzoyan gave a book on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to US Vice President JD Vance.

Edita Gzoyan told JD Vance about massacres of Armenians by Azerbaijanis and gave him a book on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Vardanyan stated that he refuses to ‘participate in the farce’ or to ‘legitimise’ his 20-year sentence.
The trial of former Nagorno-Karabakh State Minister Ruben Vardanyan lasted more than a year.

The statement made no mention of Armenians displaced during the decades-long conflict.
Samadov was sentenced to 15 years in prison on treason charges, which he denies.

An Azerbaijani MP suggested the peace treaty could be signed if Yerevan commits not to have any ‘territorial claims’ in its new constitution.
