Russian Peacekeepers Demand Nagorno-Karabakh Ceasefire Observation Amid Reports Of Firing

The Russian peacekeeping contingent in Nagorno-Karabakh has issued a demand calling on all parties to observe the ceasefire that came into effect in the disputed region on November 10, following reports of automatic weapon fire in the Hadrut region. A representative from the peacekeeping contingent told reporters, “In the Hadrut region, automatic weapon fire was registered. Demand for all parties to observe the ceasefire in its entirety was directly communicated.”

So far, the Russian peacekeepers have registered one ceasefire violation in Nagorno-Karabakh on Friday, which is the only breach of the truce that came into force on November 10 following the signing of an agreement by the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. Earlier on November 11, the military informed that it has deployed Russian peacekeepers along the Nagorno-Karabakh region to uphold the ceasefire between Azerbaijan and Armenia. The deployment of Russian peacekeepers in the region was done in accordance with the Moscow-brokered ceasefire agreement signed between President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, a day before.
