The commander of the Russian military contingent in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone, Lieutenant General Rustam Muradov, said that the situation had stabilized in two villages in the Hadrut region of Karabakh, where the ceasefire was violated on 11 December.
“RIA Novosti” news agency reported.
“On 11 December, in the vicinity of the settlements of Khtsaberd and Hin Tagher of the Hadrut region, a ceasefire was violated, which was suppressed by the actions of the Russian peacekeeping contingent. At present, the situation in this area has returned to normal. Russian peacekeepers are constantly monitoring the situation and maintain interaction with representatives of the Armenian and Azerbaijani parties, “- Muradov said.
The reality is that on 11 December, at around 8:40 pm, the enemy attempted to attack one of the military positions located in the southern direction of the Defense Army.
It should be reminded that on 9 November, Russian President Vladimir Putin, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed a joint statement on the cessation of hostilities.
The trilateral statement states in particular that Kelbajar will be returned to Azerbaijan by 15 November (later that period was extended by 10 days), Aghdam region by 20 November, and Lachin region by 1 December, leaving a corridor of 5 km wide, which will ensure Armenia’s connection, but will not touch Shushi.
In addition, along with the line of contact in Nagorno-Karabakh and the Lachin corridor, Russian peacekeeping forces of 1960 troops with firearms, 90 armored vehicles and 380 vehicles and special equipment are deployed. The peacekeepers remain for five years with the possibility of automatic extension, unless the parties announce the termination of this provision six months before the expiration of the next five years.
It is also mentioned that internally displaced persons and refugees are returning to Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas, exchanging prisoners of war and exchanging other detainees, and unblocking all economic and transport ties in the region is carried out.
