The contribution of the Russian peacekeeping contingent in Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) is “undeniable”, Nikol Pashinyan told a cabinet meeting on Friday.

In the meantime, he stressed the need to improve the efficiency of peacekeeping operations “in a number of episodes”.

“The invasion of Azerbaijani troops into the zone of responsibility of the Russian peacekeeping forces in Nagorno-Karabakh, in particular into the area of Parukh, is extremely concerning,” Pashinyan said.

“It is significant in terms of an overall assessment of the situation, and we hope that the Russian peacekeeping contingent in Nagorno-Karabakh will ensure the complete withdrawal of the Azerbaijani army units,” he noted.
