Armenian deputies wanted to enter Karabakh without permission - Zakharova
The visit of Armenian deputies to Nagorno-Karabakh was not previously agreed with the peacekeepers, stated on April 14 the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
"The Russian peacekeeping contingent is acting in strict accordance with the provisions of the Statement of the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia dated November 9, 2020. This visit was not previously agreed with the RCC command," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a comment.
The Russian Federation believes that statements about the actions of Russian peacekeepers allegedly contradicting the provisions of the statement of November 9, 2020 do not correspond to reality. The Russian side expects that, taking into account the incidents that have taken place both in the zone of responsibility of the peacekeepers and in certain sections of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, both sides will refrain from steps that could aggravate the situation in the region, Zakharova added.
