ArmInfo.The Security Council of the Republic of Artsakh has refuted the media reports  claiming that the command of the Russian peacekeeping troops  stationed in the Republic of Artsakh agrees to set up an Azerbaijani  checkpoint in the Lachin corridor. 

"In order to prevent entry of prohibited objects to the zone of  responsibility of the peacekeeping troops, the Russian peacekeepers  considered the possibility of installing an X-ray scanner at the No.  1 base of the Lachin Corridor for the purpose of inspecting incoming  vehicles. Cargo control is planned to be carried out by specialists  of the peacekeeping forces.

"Accordingly, we emphasize once again that the rumors circulating  about the establishment of an Azerbaijani checkpoint in the Lachin  Corridor are false and do not follow the provisions of the trilateral  statement adopted by the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia.
