BREAKING
Araghchi: Iran adopted a constructive approach in its engagement to ensure the European Union and the E3 fully honored their commitments and lifted all sanctions.
Araghchi: After a year of Iran’s full compliance with the agreement, it began implementing gradual, proportionate, and reversible compensatory steps in accordance with its recognized rights under the deal.
Araghchi: Iran demonstrated the utmost restraint in the face of repeated and fundamental violations and made extensive efforts to restore balance and preserve the agreement.
In his letter, Araghchi stated: The E3 failed to fulfill their obligations and instead imposed additional illegal sanctions on Iranian individuals and institutions.
Araghchi: These coercive measures constituted a grave violation of international law and the UN Charter, causing severe disruption in the implementation of the agreement.
Araghchi: Washington initially refrained from fulfilling its commitments, then withdrew from the agreement, reimposed its illegal and unilateral sanctions, and even expanded them.
Araghchi: UN Security Council Resolution 2231 has expired and fully ceased to be in effect as of today, in accordance with its explicit provisions.
Iranian Foreign Ministry: Reimposing sanctions on Iran is illegal

Yerevan residents are demanding Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to step down, as they call him a 'traitor' in light of the deadly clashes in Nagorno-Karabakh.

According to a report by the Hraparak newspaper on Thursday, citing sources, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated at a meeting with allies that he does not intend to resign under any circumstances, which comes amid violent clashes and a ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh. 

Anti-government demonstrations in Yerevan on Tuesday turned into violent clashes between protesters and authorities at the gates of the Armenian government building in Yerevan, shortly after Azerbaijan claimed to have won in a 24-hour military operation in Nagorno-Karabakh.    

Baku initiated regional "anti-terrorist activities" within the separatist Nagorno-Karabakh area with the aim of "restoring the constitutional order." 

Protesters yelled “Artsakh, Artsakh, Artsakh" - the Armenian name for Nagorno-Karabakh - and chanted, “Nikol is a traitor!”

Azerbaijan’s president, Ilham Aliyev, said in a televised address on Wednesday that the military operation “restored sovereignty” and praised the army for the “complete surrender” of local Armenian fighters.

Aliyev claimed that local Armenians from Karabakh have “forgotten that they live in Azerbaijan” but assured that there would not be repercussions against the local population.

Russia’s defense ministry played a role in mediation, given the presence of its peacekeepers in the region, saying on Wednesday that it took in about 5,000 Karabakh residents after evacuation, according to the Interfax news agency.  

Just last week, on September 13, Pashinyan officially acknowledged that his country recognizes the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region as part of Azerbaijan's sovereign territory.

His statement came in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's remarks expressing limitations on Russia's involvement in Nagorno-Karabakh following Armenia's public recognition of Azerbaijan's claim to the Armenian-majority region.

This clash may hinder the previous efforts made in May to recognize each other’s territorial integrity and make progress toward normalizing relations.

"There is a possibility of reaching a peace agreement between Baku and Yerevan, especially considering that Armenia has officially recognized Nagorno-Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan," Aliyev said at a meeting, adding his nation "has no territorial claims against Armenia."

"You have to try very hard and have a wild imagination in order to see territorial claims in my words," he added.
