YEREVAN. – After their talk with the French Ambassador to Armenia, the protesting residents of Hadrut, Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) marched to the Russian Embassy in Armenia with the same demand: restoration of their violated rights

They addressed the Russian embassy, chanting "Hadrut is Artsakh!" "We demand the de-occupation of Hadrut!" and "Give us back our Hadrut!"

These residents of Hadrut were met by an embassy representative, who said that he could not comment on anything and would only take their letter and pass it to their leadership.

These protesters, however, wanted to meet with the Russian ambassador.

Now, these Hadrut residents are going to march to the US Embassy in Armenia.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on Monday night signed a joint statement on a complete cessation of hostilities in and around Artsakh. According to the Russian leader, the Azerbaijani and Armenian armed forces will remain in their positions, and Russian peacekeepers will be deployed in the region. But this statement also stipulates the handover of part of Artsakh lands to Azerbaijan.
