Will the Families of Russian Peacekeepers Be Transferred to Artsakh? "Hraparak"

"Hraparak" newspaper writes: "It is no secret that all hopes for security and survival in Artsakh are tied to the Russian peacekeepers. The people of Artsakh have repeatedly stated that if the Russian soldier withdraws, the residents of Artsakh will leave along with him. In this regard, it is necessary for the peacekeepers to be settled in Artsakh for a long time and to not think about leaving here.

Despite the fact that the document of November 9, 2020, states that the presence of peacekeepers depends on the willingness of both parties, Armenia and Azerbaijan, all other points of this document have been so violated and no deadlines have been observed that it can be said that the document is no longer in effect. Thus, the presence of peacekeepers depends solely on the desire of Russia, Artsakh, and a bit of Armenia.

According to our information, the president of Artsakh, Araik Harutyunyan, is doing everything possible to facilitate the transfer of the families of the 1500 peacekeepers currently in Artsakh from Russia, so that they can be more firmly established here. We have been informed that he has addressed this issue to the highest levels of the Russian Federation and has received assurances that the transfer of family members of Russian military personnel will be organized.
