Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed by telephone with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan the situation around Nagorno-Karabakh, informed Kremlin press office.
“The importance of the consistent implementation of the trilateral agreements between the leaders of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan dated November 9, 2020, January 11 and November 26, 2021 was confirmed,” the message says.
During the conversation, initiated by the Armenian side, the leaders of the two countries discussed the role of Russian peacekeepers in the region and the further development of relations between the Russian Federation and Armenia. The press service of the Armenian prime minister did not provide any other details of the conversation.
For the last time, Putin and Pashinyan discussed the situation in Karabakh on 8 August. This was preceded by clashes between the armed forces of Azerbaijan and the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) on August 3 in the area of the so-called. Lachin corridor. The clashes ended with the occupation of a number of heights by the Azerbaijani troops, allowing them to carry out fire control of the highway of the Lachin corridor. The Kremlin then called on the parties to exercise restraint and respect the tripartite peace agreements.
On November 9, 2020, Armenia and Azerbaijan, through the mediation of Russia, signed an agreement that put an end to the armed conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh that began on September 27, 2020. Baku and Yerevan agreed on the exchange of prisoners and the bodies of the dead. Under the agreement, the Armenian troops were withdrawn from the region, and the NKR liberated a number of regions that came under the control of Azerbaijan.
The observance of the truce and the security of the Lachin corridor from Armenia to Karabakh until 2025 is monitored by Russian peacekeepers.
