"We expect that the peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation  in Nagorno Karabakh will take concrete measures to stem the incursion  of Azerbaijani units into the area of peacekeepers' responsibility  and to withdraw the Azerbaijani armed forces. We consider it  important to conduct a proper investigation into the actions of the  peacekeeping contingent during this entire period of the incursion of  Azerbaijani units, and answer a number of questions."
