As part of the implementation of the trilateral statement of the President of Russia, the President of Azerbaijan and the Prime Minister of Armenia dated November 9, 2020, Russian peacekeepers continue to assist in the restoration of peaceful life in Nagorno-Karabakh, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on Thursday. 

As a result of the previously reached agreements, the machinery room of the Lachin (Berdzor) hydroelectric power station was in the zone of responsibility of the Russian peacekeepers, and the dam of the hydroelectric power station in the territory passed under the control of Azerbaijan.

With the assistance of the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent, the work of the hydroelectric power station was resumed; at present, the Russian peacekeepers ensure the safety and unhindered access of power engineers to carry out maintenance work on the units and systems of the power plant. This allows the supply of electricity to nearby settlements, as well as the city of Stepanakert.
