There are normal working relations between the Armenian and Russian authorities - Pashinyan
YEREVAN, November 14. /ARKA/. The position of the Russian Federation on the Karabakh issue has not changed for the past 4.5 years, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said yesterday in an interview with the Armenian Public Television. 

“And I must state with certainty and confidence In other words, today the position of the Russian Federation on the Karabakh issue is the same as it was 4.5 years ago. There are realities that correspond to those ideas, in particular, the presence of Russian peacekeepers,” the Armenian premier said in his televised interview. 

The issue, he said, must be considered from this perspective, because we are not talking about the relations between Armenia and the Russian authorities, we are talking about the position of the Russian Federation on Nagorno-Karabakh.

Nikol Pashinyan also said that there are normal working relations between the Armenian and Russian authorities.

About the Second Artsakh War

Since September 27, for 44 days, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, with the direct participation and support of Turkey, as well as the foreign mercenaries and terrorists recruited by it, carried out aggression along the entire length of the contact line in Artsakh, conducting artillery and rocket attacks, also against civilians and civilian infrastructures. Prohibited types of weapons were also used. The strikes were delivered, inter alia, at civil and military targets on the territory of Armenia.

The Azerbaijani side suffered massive losses in manpower (7,630 killed) and military equipment. During the hostilities, 784 units of various armored vehicles, 4 MLRS "Smerch", "Uragan", 6 TOS units, 264 UAVs, 16 helicopters, and 25 aircraft were destroyed. According to the official data of the Armenian side, during the repulsion of the enemy's aggression, more than 1,200 Armenian servicemen were killed and several hundred people were wounded. As a result of war crimes in Azerbaijan, 50 civilians were killed and 148 wounded. About 19,000 infrastructure units were damaged.

On November 9, the leaders of the Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia, Putin, Aliyev and Pashinyan, signed a statement according to which all hostilities in the zone of the Karabakh conflict were stopped on November 10. In particular, Azerbaijan and Armenia stop at their positions. A number of regions are returned to Azerbaijan, including the city of Shushi, as well as Aghdam, Kelbajar and Lachin regions, with the exception of a 5-kilometer corridor connecting Karabakh with Armenia. A Russian peacekeeping contingent is deployed along the line of contact in Karabakh and along the Lachin corridor. Internally displaced persons and refugees are returning to Karabakh and surrounding areas. There is an exchange of prisoners of war, hostages and other detained persons and bodies of the dead. --0---
