The withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers from Karabakh has begun
Russia has begun withdrawing peacekeepers from the zone of the former Karabakh conflict, Putin’s press secretary said.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on October 9, 2023, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that against the backdrop of the closure of peacekeeper observation posts, 25 guard posts were set up to guard weapons seized in Karabakh, including 14 posts jointly with the Azerbaijani military. On the same day, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that the activities of the peacekeepers would be adapted against the backdrop of the mass exodus of Karabakh residents from the region. The continued presence of peacekeepers in the region is contrary to the interests of Baku, Azerbaijani analysts pointed out.
The presence of peacekeepers in the region until 2025 is provided for by the 2020 trilateral agreement, although their functions may be adjusted, Russian analysts interviewed by the Caucasian Knot indicated in September.
Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov confirmed information about the beginning of the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers from Karabakh. “Yes, this is really so,” Kommersant quotes him as saying today.
Late in the evening of April 16, the Azerbaijani publication Oxu.az reported that the Russian peacekeeping contingent was leaving Azerbaijan. In particular, a convoy of Russian equipment passed through the Tartar and Barda regions, the publication says.
The Armenian publication News.am also reported the beginning of a phased withdrawal of peacekeepers, citing diplomatic sources.
