Peacekeepers continue to escort Armenian military convoys - Azerbaijani Defence Ministry

Baku/24.03.23/Turan: Once again on March 24 a convoy of vehicles carrying out illegal military transport on the road Khankandi-Khalfali-Turshsu has been detected, the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense said in a statement.

The technical means of observation of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces detected movement of BTR-82A Russian peacekeeping contingent, three covered KamAZ and one KamAZ with a fuel tank belonging to Armenians in the column.

These actions of the Russian peacekeeping contingent violate their obligations under the trilateral statement of the leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia of November 10, 2020, the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense reminded.

Creating conditions for the free transportation of manpower, ammunition, mines and other logistical means for the illegal Armenian formations in Karabakh is a gross violation of the agreements by the peacekeeping contingent, the military department of Azerbaijan stresses.

"These illegal actions take place regularly and demonstrate the need for Azerbaijan to establish a border checkpoint at the endpoint of the Lachin road," reads the conclusion of the press release of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense.
