The Russian Ministry of Defense has criticized Azerbaijan for violating the 2020 ceasefire agreement with Armenia on the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region.
The Azerbaijani Armed Force advanced in the area of responsibility of the Russian peacekeepers, who were deployed in Nagorno-Karabakh under the ceasefire agreement, capturing the village of Farukh on March 24. The following day, Azerbaijani combat drones carried out a series of strikes on the region that claimed the lives of three soldiers of the unrecognized Artsakh Defense Army.
In a statement released on March 26, the Russian MoD said that the command of the Russian peacekeeping mission in Nagorno-Karabakh is taking measures to resolve the escalation.
“The command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent is currently taking measures to resolve the situation and get the troops retreat to their initial positions. Azerbaijan has been sent a call to withdraw troops,” the statement said.
Also on March 26, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan discussed the recent escalation in Nagorno-Karabakh with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a phone call.
“During the conversation, they discussed the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, which is unfolding in the zone of responsibility of the Russian peacekeepers as a result of an advance by Azerbaijan’s Armed Forces. Prime Minister Pashinyan described the situation as tense,” the Armenian government said in a statement.
The Russian MoD statement on the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh was condemned by the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan, who called it “one-sided”.
The Azerbaijani MoD accused Armenian forces of carrying out an attack on its troops on March 26 in violation of the ceasefire agreement. Moreover, the MoD said that the presence of Armenian forces in the disputed region in itself is a violation of the agreement, calling on them to withdraw.
“The MoD of the Republic of Azerbaijan requests the MoD of the Russian Federation to completely withdraw the remnants of the Armenian army and illegal Armenian armed detachments from the territory of Azerbaijan recognized by the international community,” the Azerbaijani MoD said in a statement released on March 27.
Azerbaijan’s recent military moves in Nagorno-Karabakh didn’t trigger Russia only. A Telegram channel affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hinted that the Islamic republic may support Armenia against any future Azerbaijani attack.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly stated it will not tolerate changing the borders of neighboring countries.
Any military invasion of Armenia will be met with a reaction from the Iranian armed forces,” the channel said in a post.
The recent developments suggest that Azerbaijan is be trying to take advantage of the war in Ukraine, which reportedly led Russia to withdraw some of its troops from Nagorno-Karabakh. Baku may be preparing to to renew its attack on Armenian forces in the region with support from its main ally, Turkey.
Armenians backstabbed Russia and no one cares about the assholes.
Armenians did not fight for their land and got whacked, so now blaming Russia. what wally’s and ingrates.
Time for Georgia to take back Ossetia and Abhazia, Japan – Kuriles, Poland – Kaliningrad, Finland – Karelia and Free Siberia from Moscow colonialism.
Sounds like a nutter plan mate and get nuked.
wet dream
Yeah and dont forget to free Japan, South Korea and Europe of American occupation.
Give Australia back to native Aborigines, or New Zealand, Canada and USA who genocide 99% of native Americans.
Scotland, northern Ireland is occupied by English, also Gibraltar, Falkland Islands or the Carribbean Islands.
Konigsberg is german, genius
Before you write such bs.. Kaliningrad is historic German land (Königsberg) and Poland has nothing to do with it. While Germans march there they can ask about Breslau and Danzig aswell.
Armenians had year and half to improve their military abilities. They should have bought UCAVs like Azerbaijan had done, new EW systems for UCAV jamming, new anti aircraft systems like Pantsir and Thor M1 and some other tech advanced stuff. They were saved by Russians and felt no need to upgrade its military capabilities.
With what money friend? They are a Agro country, unlike zio azerbajan.
NATO trying to open a second front against Russia. Another weak and ineffective response from Russia or Iran would be completely foolish and disastrous. The terrorist leader of the fake country of Azerbaijan is a NATO puppet, he must get the same treatment Ukraine is getting.
Russia must understand that Ukraine’s relationship to Russia is like Azerbaijan’s relationship to Iran. Just like Ukraine is a historical/cultural/racial part of the Russian world, the fake country of Azerbaijan is a historical/cultural/racial part of Iran. Just like NATO is funding and supporting hardcore anti-Russian elements in Ukraine like Neo-Nazis to implement a genocidal anti-Russian program there, they are also funding and supporting hardcore anti-Iranian elements in Azerbaijan like Pan-Turks (and recently Sunni Jihaddis) to implement a genocidal anti-Iranian program there. Just like NATO is doing everything in their power to wipe out and rewrite the Russian history of Ukraine, they are doing the same thing to the Iranian history of Azerbaijan. Just like Russian Eastern Orthodoxy is being suppressed in Ukraine, Iranian Twelver Shiism is being suppressed in Azerbaijan. Just like the Slavic Ukrainians have been radicalized to hate their fellow Slavic brothers in Russia, the Iranic people of the fake country of Azerbaijan have been radicalized to hate their fellow Iranic brothers in Iran.
In addition to all the above, in Azerabijan’s case there’s an added problem for Iran and that is the very name of “Azerbaijan” was intentionally stolen from Iran’s northwestern provinces roughly 100 years ago when this fake country declared its independence with the goal of laying claim to Iranian territory and writing a fake history about some non-existence historical united “Azerbaijan” part of which resides in Iran. To this very day the people are Azerbaijan are falsely taught in school that Azerbaijan is a much bigger territory and part of it resides in Iran.
Russia must understand that Iran cannot tolerate the status quo forever. NATO influence from the region must be wiped out. If Russia isn’t willing or able to act then Iran has no choice but to do so.
Turkey starting anew front to distract Russia.
This way going into a war with Iran. The IRGC gave their warning. The SAA blew up a turkish armed vehicle in northern Syria. Two messages are clearer than one.
Turks are a pest
I still gets none of that. After being runned by Ottamans or Tzar and other dirtbacks, they finally are free to decide themself.
And next they start kiling each other as nothing has happend in 1000 years. Well nothing has.
No matterwhat I deel for none of them. But last time it was the Armenians being their guilty ones taken land by tanks. That was taken back by the Azerbajs.
Denmark and Our many vikings will take back England when Johson has made it collapse. Next we will rejoin it with us in EU.
I was in Denmark visiting your museums and historical sites. It was great. Your people (men) on the other hand are mostly one Carlsberg away from a heart attack.
