It should be noted that on June 3, the opposition in the National Assembly is convening an extraordinary session at 16:00, with the text of a statement regarding Armenian-Turkish and Azerbaijani-Armenian relations on the agenda, stating that “Artsakh should never be part of Azerbaijan.” The ruling party has already announced that they will not participate in the extraordinary session. The opposition plans to gather as many people as possible and exert pressure to ensure the session is held.
