ArmInfo.On March 7, the entrances and exits of the main base of the Russian peacekeeping forces in Ivanyan city of Artsakh were blocked for several hours.
Several dozens of young people with banners " Is there peace where you are?", "We need true peacekeepers", "All our rights have been violated" are holding a rally demanding a meeting with the command of the Russian peacekeeping forces. They insist on the need for the peacekeepers to fulfill their obligations, including ensuring the security and peaceful life of the inhabitants of the republic. Initially, it was planned that more people would participate in the action, but in the end, there were two dozen people. By their action, the youth also wants to show that they are not indifferent to the losses of policemen who died as a result of the terrorist attack committed by the armed forces of Azerbaijan. <Instead of them, each of us could be. Russian peacekeeping forces are deployed here to ensure peace>, said one of the participants in the action.
