Lavrov: The situation around the village of Parukh in Karabakh is one  of the priorities of the Russian military

ArmInfo. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov commented on the situation around the Karabakh village of Parukh, where the Azerbaijani armed forces invaded on  March 24.

So, on June 9, at a press conference in Yerevan, to the question of  ArmInfo about what steps the Russian side is taking to completely  withdraw the Azerbaijani armed forces from the territories around the  village of Parukh of Nagorno-Karabakh, Lavrov noted that the Russian  military keep this issue as one of their priorities, which the  Armenian partners are well aware of.

"There are already certain results in terms of de-escalating the  situation on the ground. And we understand that within the framework  of the substantive work already started in the direction of  demarcation, these issues will be considered and will be resolved by  all means," the Russian Minister said.

It should be noted that on March 24, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces,  having violated the line of contact, invaded the village of Parukh in  the Askeran region of Artsakh and tried to capture the strategic  height of Karaglukh. These territories are in the zone of  responsibility of Russian peacekeepers.  The co-chairing countries of  the OSCE Minsk Group called on Azerbaijan to restore the contact line  of March 23. However, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces continue to be at  the Karaglukh height, as a result of which more than 400 people  cannot return to their homes. -sh-
