ArmInfo. Russian peacekeepers in Nagorno-Karabakh have no authority to use weapons as long as there is  no threat to themselves, said Andrei Kartapolov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Defense, Interfax reports.

"As long as the peacekeepers themselves are not in danger, they have  no authority to use weapons," Kartapolov said, answering Interfax's  question about whether Russian peacekeeping forces in Nagorno-  Karabakh have a mandate to engage in hostilities.

It is noted that Yerevan called on the UN Security Council countries  and Russian peacekeepers to take measures to stop Azerbaijan's  military actions in Nagorno-Karabakh.
