ArmInfo.This morning, August 23, the heads of the five parliamentary forces of Artsakh met with the leadership of the Russian peacekeeping forces. This was reported  by the press service of the National Assembly of Artsakh.

According to the source, the reason for the meeting was the recent  statement of Minister-Counsellor of the Russian Embassy in Armenia  Maksim Seleznev, as well as another violation of the ceasefire by  Azerbaijan in early August and security issues. During the meeting,  officials of the peacekeeping forces of the Russian Federation  provided clarifications on the abovementioned issues. In particular,  it was noted that the tripartite declaration dated November 9, 2020  states that the new route linking Artsakh with Armenia will have the  same legal status as the current corridor, and all security  components will be preserved, ranging from 5- kilometer security zone  and ending with the deployment of checkpoints of the Russian  peacekeeping forces.
