A group of residents of Berdzor (Lachin) town and Aghavno village of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) are holding a rally in Armenia’s capital Yerevan.
They will make a statement shortly.
To note, despite the assurances that Berdzor and Aghavno will remain under Armenian control, most of their residents have left these settlements.
On November 9, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a joint statement on a complete cessation of hostilities— which Azerbaijan had launched on September 27—in and around Artsakh. Accordingly, Russian peacekeepers are deployed in the region to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire and the cessation of hostilities. But this statement also stipulates the handover of part of Artsakh lands to Azerbaijan.
