There will be no Turkish military in Karabakh - Lavrov
The role of the Turkish side in resolving the Karabakh conflict will consist exclusively of remote monitoring of the demarcation line.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced this at a press conference, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The boundaries of mobility of Turkish observers will be limited to those coordinates that will be determined for the location, deployment of the created Russian-Turkish center on the territory of Azerbaijan, in that part of the territory that is not close to Karabakh and which will be additionally agreed upon for the establishment, as I already said, of a joint monitoring center.
In accordance with the memorandum signed yesterday at the level of the defense ministers of Russia and Turkey, the center will operate exclusively remotely, using technical means of control, including drones and other means of control, which make it possible to determine the situation on the ground in Karabakh, primarily on the contact line , and determine which side is observing and which may violate the terms of the “ceasefire and all hostilities,” Lavrov said.
“So the boundaries of mobility of Turkish observers will be limited to these premises, which will be allocated on Azerbaijani territory, not on the territory of the former conflict, to accommodate Russian and Turkish observers. We are talking exclusively about the same center, which will be permanently located on the territory of Azerbaijan, without any visiting missions.
In this center, Russian and Turkish specialists will truly work on the same basis. No peacekeeping units of the Turkish Republic will be sent to Nagorno-Karabakh,” the head of the Foreign Ministry emphasized.
