Lavrov: Deployment of peacekeepers in Karabakh does not concern Yerevan

The deployment of Russian peacekeepers in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan does not concern the Armenian side; this is a matter of bilateral relations between Moscow and Baku, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a press conference following his participation in UN Security Council events, answering a question from Report’s correspondent.

“We actually have peacekeepers there even after everyone recognized Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory. But this issue no longer concerns the Armenian side; it is a matter of bilateral relations between Russia and Azerbaijan,” the minister said.
