Russian peacekeepers conducted patrols along three routes in Shushi, Martuni and Martakert districts,” the statement reads. The demining teams of the Russian peacekeeping contingent continue to mine facilities and terrain. Throughout the day, 2 hectares of territory were cleared from unexploded ordnance and explosive objects. The Russian peacekeepers were deployed in the region immediately after Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Russian and Azerbaijani Presidents Vladimir Putin and Ilham Aliyev signed a statement to end the war in Karabakh on November 9. Under the deal, the Armenian side returned all the seven regions surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, having lost a part of Karabakh itself in hostilities. Photo.
