Russian peacekeepers ensure safe restoration of cell tower in Karabakh

PanARMENIAN.Net - The servicemen of the Russian peacekeeping contingent have ensured the safe restoration of a cell tower providing about 5 thousand residents of remote regions of Nagorno-Karabakh with mobile communications and high-speed Internet, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on Saturday, September 4.

In particular, engineers repaired and restored the antenna and replaced the relay equipment in Martakert, close to the new contact line.

"Our task today is to ensure the safety of work on the cell tower, which is located near the demarcation line. The company's management has asked the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent in Nagorno-Karabakh to ensure the safety of the work," said Alexander Zaitsev, a spokesperson for the peacekeeping contingent.

In certain remote areas of Karabakh, work is underway to equip cell towers with modern solar panels to ensure uninterrupted mobile communications and high-speed Internet.

The Russian peacekeepers were deployed in Nagorno-Karabakh immediately after Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Russian and Azerbaijani Presidents Vladimir Putin and Ilham Aliyev signed a statement to end the war in Karabakh after almost 45 days on November 9, 2020. Under the deal, the Armenian side returned all the seven regions surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, having lost a part of Karabakh itself in hostilities.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
