Peskov denies Turkey’s claims about it sending Turkish peacekeepers in Karabakh
The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refuted the Turkish regime’s claims about its participation in the peacekeeping forces in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh province, stressing that this issue wasn’t discussed.
“This is wrong and inaccurate information. There might be a kind of misunderstanding,” Peskov said in a statement to reporters on Thursday.
“We start from the fact that the Russian servicemen deployed in the contact zone between the two sides are the ones who will carry out the peacekeeping mission, and that cooperation with the Turkish military will be within the framework of the monitoring center established on the Azerbaijani territories,” Paskov added.
President of the Turkish regime Recep Tayyip Erdogan claimed that his country would participate in sending peacekeepers to monitor the ceasefire in the Karabakh region.
On Tuesday, the Kremlin announced that the Russian and Azerbaijani presidents and the Armenian Prime Minister signed a joint declaration on a ceasefire in the Karabakh province, stressing that the tripartite agreement does not include any reference to the possibility of deploying Turkish forces in the region.
