Yerevan expects that Russian peacekeepers will be able to restore the status quo in Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) disrupted by Azerbaijani forces in March, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan told a joint news conference with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Yerevan on Thursday.
"Armenia continues to believe that Russia’s peacekeeping troops are capable of restoring the status quo, which was established by the November 9, 2020 trilateral agreement and disrupted by the Azerbaijani troops’ invasion of the Parukh settlement in Artsakh on March 24," Mirzoyan said.
Mirzoyan said he reiterated Armenia’s commitment to make efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region.
“In this context, addressing the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict which will include the key points on ensuring the security and all rights of the Artsakh people and determining the final status of Nagorno-Karabakh is vital,” the Armenian FM said.
