Karhmandu. On Tuesday, Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia celebrated a trilateral agreement for peace. On the same day, Dmitry Peskov announced that the deployment of Turkish soldiers in Nagorno-Karabakh has not been agreed upon.

On Wednesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that Russia and Turkey have decided to work in collaboration for peacekeeping in the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh. On the same day, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu warned Armenia that it will have to bear the consequences if it violates the ceasefire peace deal.

The dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the 1700 square miles of the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh had begun in 1988 when the Soviet Union was disintegrating and losing its powers. In 1991, a huge war broke out killing more than 30 thousand.

In 1994, Russia resolved the conflict by brokering a cease-fire. Since then and now, the two countries have engaged in wars several times, the most serious escalation was observed in 2016 and recently in September-October 2020.

This year, heavy fighting broke out on 27 September. The following six weeks were considered to be the most destructive conflict in its history. By October 8, around 5000 soldiers were already killed, stated by Russia’s President Vladimir Putin.

After several attempts to ceasefire failed, after six weeks of fighting, on Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Azerbaijani President, and Armenia’s Prime Minister signed a trilateral agreement for peace. The agreement allows for the deployment of more than 1900 Russian peacekeepers along the Nagorno-Karabakh frontline and the corridor between the region and Armenia.

In a social media post, the Armenian Prime Minister, Nikol Vovayi Pashinyan said that the peace deal is “unspeakably painful” whereas, the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Heydar oğlu Aliyev, celebrated the event and expressed his joy by calling it a historic day to end the conflict.
