In this context, according to the prime minister, the contribution of the Russian peacekeeping contingent is undeniable. "On the other hand, "in a number of episodes|", there is a need to increase the effectiveness of the peacekeepers. The penetration of the Azerbaijani armed forces in the zone of responsibility of the Russian peacekeepers in the area of the village of Parukh is an extremely puzzling fact, which is significant from the point of view of assessing the general situation and we hope that the Russian peacekeeping contingent will ensure the full withdrawal of Azerbaijani units ", he stated.
"The Parukh crisis, in fact, arose as a result of a violation of the agreements," Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on March 31 at a government meeting. "In order to defuse the tense situation in the region, an agreement was reached on the equal withdrawal of a number of positions from the Parukh- Khramort sector, and this agreement was to be guaranteed by the Russian peacekeeping contingent. Several Armenian positions were withdrawn, Russian peacekeepers were stationed in the area, but before their eyes, Azerbaijanis invaded the zone of responsibility of the peacekeepers," Pashinyan said. Earlier, Nikol Pashinyan repeatedly stated that he expects the Russian peacekeepers in Nagorno-Karabakh to take measures to ensure the withdrawal of Azerbaijani units from their zone of responsibility. "We also consider it necessary to conduct an investigation into the actions of Russian peacekeepers for their adequacy, as well as possible inaction, which I also spoke about with Russian President Vladimir Putin," Pashinyan said.
