/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russian Vice-Premier, Defense Minister Sergey
Ivanov does not rule out the possibility of deploying peacekeepers
in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict region. “I do not exclude that
peacekeeping forces may appear in the region for the fulfillment of
the political agreements that will be achieved sooner or later,”
Ivanov told reporters in Baku. “The current situation cannot last
forever,” he added. The Russian MOD head reminded that the unsteady
armistice in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict region has been maintained
for over 12 years already.

“Unfortunately, the number of hotspots like Nagorno Karabakh increases
year by year,” the Russian Defense Minister said, reported RIA Novosti.
