Artsakh

APRIL 11, ARTSAKHPRESS. Nagorno Karabakh authorities have called on farmers to engage in farming in the presence of Russian peacekeepers as a safety precaution given the Azerbaijani shootings.

A specialized center is dealing with the arrangements.

In a statement, the Center for Cooperation with the Russian Peacekeeping Contingent in Nagorno Karabakh, said that Azerbaijani troops are frequently opening fire at Nagorno Karabakh farmers especially in Martuni and Askeran regions.

“Thus, given the threats and obstacles caused by the Azerbaijani side, we call on citizens to apply to the center through regional administration offices before farming in areas adjacent to the line of contact to ensure Russian peacekeepers’ [presence] in all possible cases,” the center added.
