“The decision on a joint statement on Karabakh was not discussed, since it had to be taken promptly, in a critical situation on the battlefield,” TASS quoted Pashinyan as saying.

Pashinyan also stated that if the hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh were not stopped, 30 thousand Armenian soldiers would be under the threat of encirclement.

On the night of November 10, Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a statement on a ceasefire in Karabakh. 

Peacekeeping in the region along the line of contact will be monitored by Russian peacekeepers.
