Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan announced the involvement of at least two CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organisation - Ed.] countries in helping Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh war.

Pashinyan accuses the CSTO of helping Azerbaijan in the Karabakh war

In 2020, our allies participated in the preparations for the war. Not on our side. I know two CSTO countries that participated in the preparation for war against us, emphasіsed the Prime Minister of Armenia.

At the same time, he refused to name which countries he accuses of assisting Azerbaijan in the war over Karabakh.

He says neither Armenia nor Azerbaijan can imagine an actual peace agreement because they do not know what it should be.

Pashinyan emphasised that the situation is similar to flights into space, which once seemed incredible.

Pashinyan also noted that signing the document between Yerevan and Baku delineating the border section is a sign of great luck.

He believes the delimitation must occur following the 1976 topographical map of the General Staff of the USSR Armed Forces.

In turn, the speaker of the Armenian parliament, Alen Simonyan, said that the republic is interested in negotiations with Azerbaijan.

He noted that the dialogue between Yerevan and Baku in the framework of negotiations on a peace agreement continues.

What is known about Pashinyan's accusation of Azerbaijan in preparation for further war

In February of this year, the Prime Minister of Armenia stated that Azerbaijan plans to launch military operations on the border with the aim of further escalation and waging a large-scale war.

Our analysis shows that Azerbaijan wants to start military operations in some areas of the border with the prospect of turning the military escalation into a full-scale war against Armenia... This intention can be read in all statements and actions of Azerbaijan, Pashinyan stated.

Yerevan is concerned that Azerbaijan, emboldened by success in Karabash, may invade Armenian territory to create a land bridge to the exclave of Nakhchivan.

The strongest earthquake of the century. More than 2 thousand people died in Myanmar

On March 31, at least 2,056 people were reported dead after a powerful earthquake struck Myanmar. More than 3,900 people were injured, and 270 are still missing.

Points of attention

  • The powerful earthquake in Myanmar on March 31 claimed the lives of over 2,000 people and left nearly 4,000 injured, with hundreds still missing.
  • Numerous countries are offering assistance to Myanmar, including rescue workers, humanitarian aid, and financial support, as the nation copes with the aftermath of this tragic event.
  • Myanmar, known for its isolated military leadership, has welcomed international aid following this disaster, unlike previous occasions where such offers were declined.

More than 2,000 people killed in Myanmar earthquake

The earthquake that shook Myanmar on March 28 was one of the strongest to hit the country in a century.

Many countries — including the United States, India, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Singapore — are sending aid to the country: rescue workers to eliminate the consequences of the disaster, humanitarian aid, and financial assistance.

Myanmar's isolated military leadership has taken the rare step of seeking international aid, having often shunned such offers during previous major natural disasters.

Myanmar has declared a week of national mourning for the devastating earthquake. The Myanmar national flag will be flown at half-mast from March 31 to April 6.

Myanmar after the earthquake

Rescuers face an extremely difficult task, as infrastructure in Myanmar, already severely damaged by fighting during the civil war, has been further damaged by the earthquake.

The situation is further complicated by the fact that the area affected by the earthquake includes areas where intense fighting has been ongoing since 2021, when a military junta came to power. Different administrations operate separately in these regions — the military government and rebel groups.
