BAKU: Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov announced that the stay of Russian peacekeepers in Azerbaijan’s Karabakh region is expected until November 2025.

“The duration of the Russian peacekeeping contingent is regulated by the document. The fact is that there is a trilateral statement, and this document is signed by the leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Russia,” Bayramov said during a press conference on Thursday.

The deployment of the Russian peacekeeping contingent was part of the trilateral statement on November 10, 2020, following the conflict in the region. As of September 19, 2023, 12 observation and 16 temporary observation posts of Russian peacekeepers have been phased out.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova mentioned on October 10 that several stationary and temporary observation posts of Russian peacekeepers had already been closed. Ongoing discussions with Baku address key issues related to the peacekeeping mission.
