Armenian prime minister Nikol Pashinyan, told a meeting of the government in Yerevan on Thursday (22 December) that Russian peacekeepers were not honouring the obligations as stipulated in clause 6 of the 9 (10) November trilateral declaration signed by Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia.
"De facto, it turns out that the obligation recorded in the tripartite declaration, that is, to keep the Lachin Corridor under control, is not fulfilled by the peacekeeping troops of the Russian Federation either. Of course, something like this happens as a result of Azerbaijan's illegal actions, but this does not change the situation, because the main purpose of the peacekeeping troops of the Russian Federation is to prevent such an illegality from happening and, in particular, to keep the Lachin Corridor under control," Pashinyan said.
Pashinyan said “We need to work hard to send a UN or OSCE fact-finding mission to Karabakh and the Lachin corridor".
