“The issue of the necessity of the Russian peacekeepers is not exhausted at all. It is possible to find solutions with the latter and achieve that all the parties fulfill the obligations of the trilateral statement,” said Eduard Aghajanyan, Chair of the NA Committee on Foreign Relations and MP of the Civil Contract faction, at a briefing with journalists in the parliament on March 25. From the village of Parukh in the Askeran region of Artsakh to Karaglukh, the Azerbaijani units were positioned in several sections. According to Eduard Aghajanyan, “I have the impression that the presence of peacekeepers has no effect against the background of consistent provocations in Azerbaijan. I have the impression, at least on social networks, that there is such an attitude among the general public.
There are also questions as to whether this is possible as a result of agreements between the Azerbaijanis and the peacekeepers. Personally, I did not want to think so. I have no reason or desire to think in that direction, but this is a question that must be dispelled by our Russian partners by taking concrete actions, as a result of which the Azerbaijani Armed Forces will return to their starting positions and the tension will decrease. As a result, the public perceptions will change, the doubts will disappear. What has happened is the consistent policy of Azerbaijan to deprive the Armenians of Artsakh of the right to live in their homeland and another manifestation of the ethnic cleansing of the Armenians of Artsakh, which we have witnessed since the conflict broke out,” Aghajanyan said.
“Our expectation is to receive clear answers from Russian partners on how this happened. We also expect that in a short time, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces will return to the starting positions. The village of Parukh has come under the control of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces. Azerbaijan has occupied a number of positions. As far as I know, it is about Karaglukh. This advance was followed by local military operations at night and today. There are also wounded. Azerbaijan has used UAVs; as far as I know, they have used Bayraktars that have damaged some positions of the Defense Army.”
