As Pashinyan said in an interview with TASS, he believes that the presence of Russian peacekeepers in Nagorno-Karabakh will not be limited to a five-year period.
“Within a five-year period, of course, we need to manage to create guarantees of security and stability in the region.
But since the Karabakh conflict is protracted, I do not think that the stay of the Russian peacekeepers will be limited to a five-year period, ”the prime minister said.
Pashinyan added that this period can be automatically extended.
He believes that the five-year term is "the beginning of the process."
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.
Observance of peace in the region along the line of contact will be controlled by Russian peacekeepers.
