The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, answering the question of Vestnik Kavkaza about the return of the Azerbaijani population to Karabakh, reminded that according to the trilateral statement, all internally displaced persons, both from Azerbaijan and from Armenia, can return to Nagorno Karabakh.

Zakharova cited the leaders' statement, which said that "internally displaced persons and refugees should return to the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh and adjacent areas under the control and direction of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees."

Over the past three months, about 52 thousand people have arrived from Armenia to the zone monitored by the Russian peacekeepers.

"At present, we are observing pretty intensive process of the return of Armenians who had previously left their homes due to the well-known events of last autumn. Our position is based on the fact that this paragraph of the trilateral statement applies to everyone who were forced to leave their homes," she explained.
