Former spokesperson of the Artsakh Defense Army, Senor Hasratyan, wrote on his Facebook page that the current Armenian government can only avoid responsibility for its actions if Armenian statehood ceases to exist.

"Today’s Armenian authorities can escape responsibility for their crimes only in one scenario—if Armenian statehood no longer exists. But despite both internal and external enemies, the Armenian has statehood—and will continue to have it. Which means, if not today, then certainly tomorrow, the guilty will be held accountable—remember this...

P.S. One who jumps from a sinking ship is a rat... One can understand him—he just wants to live..."

On September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan launched a large-scale assault on Artsakh, bombarding the entire region. A day later, on September 20, the authorities of the Republic of Artsakh accepted a ceasefire proposal from the commander of the Russian peacekeeping mission, agreeing to Baku’s terms: the disarmament of the Defense Army and the dissolution of the Republic of Artsakh. Forced displacement of Artsakh Armenians began on September 24, with over 100,000 people fleeing to Armenia. Only around 20 Armenians are believed to have remained in Artsakh. On September 28, Artsakh President Samvel Shahramanyan signed a decree to dissolve the republic, which took effect on January 1, 2024.
