Armenia relies on deployment of peacemakers in Gegarkunik Region

Armenian authorities have offered to place Russian peacemakers on the problem border sections in the Gegarkunik Region, Artak Davtyan, the Chief of the Armenian General Staff, has reported about negotiations.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the conflict on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border is ongoing since mid-May. Armenia claims that since May 13, Azerbaijani militaries have been present in the territory of the Syunik and Gegarkunik Regions. In their turn, Azerbaijani authorities insist that border guards had just changed their deployment, staying within the Lachin and Kelbadjar Districts.

Armenia is negotiating, seeking to deploy Russian peacemakers in the Gegarkunik Region, Artak Davtyan, the Chief of the Armenian General Staff, stated on June 22. He added that Armenia, as before, insists on the removal of Azerbaijani militaries from its territory. "We have nothing to ask Azerbaijan about while we are in our territory. But negotiations are with the Russian party, because there are questions. Our task is to remove the Azerbaijani units that have found themselves in our territory without clashes," the Chief of the General Staff has stressed.
