Russian peacekeepers recorded a violation of the ceasefire in the zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, should from the information bulletin of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
“There was a violation of the ceasefire regime in the Askeran region. There were no casualties. On this fact, the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent, together with the Azerbaijani and Armenian sides, is conducting an investigation,” the message says.
The ministry also noted that Russian peacekeepers continue the negotiation process with the Azerbaijani and Armenian sides on the resumption of unimpeded traffic on the Stepanakert-Goris road.
Since the beginning of December 2022, the Armenian side has been talking about the actual blockade of the Lachin corridor to Karabakh by Azerbaijani activists, as a result of which there is a shortage of essential goods in Armenian settlements. Azerbaijan responds with accusations of smuggling weapons through the corridor.
On February 18, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev proposed to organize a checkpoint on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border in the area of the Lachin corridor and the planned Zangezur corridor, which should connect the main Azerbaijani territory with Nakhchivan according to the November 2020 agreements. But the Armenian Foreign Ministry opposed this proposal.
