From now on, taking into account as well the reasonable demand of our people and our future steps, the Russian peacekeepers have been obligated to transfer information to the Russian Federation on a daily basis, and they have been obligated to accept that they have work to do to immediately settle the situation and eliminate the humanitarian crisis. Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Minister of State Gurgen Nersisyan informed this to the participants of the protest outside the headquarters of the Russian peacekeeping contingent in Artsakh, after his meeting with the commander of this contingent, Aleksandr Lentsov.

He added that their arrangement is in force, the residents of Artsakh capital Stepanakert will be returning to Renaissance Square to continue their demonstration there, and the residents of Askeran town will be setting up tents outside the headquarters of the Russian peacekeepers in Artsakh.

The Nationwide Movement started in Artsakh Friday morning.

Thousands of Artsakh residents assembled at Renaissance Square of capital Stepanakert. Artsakh President Arayik Harutyunyan also participated in the rally.

Artsakh Minister of State Gurgen Nersisyan on Thursday had announced the start of this movement.
