“First of all, of course, the negotiations were unique, but I note that at the decisive moment the president made his contribution, because he controlled our night vigils.
And somewhere deep in the night we spoke to him twice, ”Lavrov said, answering a question from the editor-in-chief of Sputnik radio Margarita Simonyan.
He specified that the head of state was connected via a call.
“I called and called.
Sergei Shoigu also got involved, because there it was important to agree on the issue that the declaration of an armistice would probably not be very sufficient if there was no mechanism for monitoring the ceasefire.
And the second point of the document, which was agreed upon, is exactly what it provides, ”he added.
On October 10, at 12:00 (11:00 Moscow time), a ceasefire came into force in Karabakh, which was agreed by both sides following a meeting in Moscow.
Armenia and Azerbaijan announced a ceasefire "for humanitarian purposes for the exchange of prisoners of war and other detained persons and bodies of the dead."
Both sides later accused each other of violating the ceasefire.
