According to the project, the militias are awaiting departure from Adler to Yerevan. The main part of the group is the participants in the 1992-1993 war in Abkhazia from among the servicemen of the battalion named after Marshal Baghramyan. Young Armenians of Abkhazia also went to the front.
On October 26, a ceasefire came into force in Nagorno-Karabakh. The corresponding agreements were reached by Azerbaijan and Armenia with the mediation of the United States. The third truce began at 08:00 local time (07:00 Moscow time), but soon the sides accused each other of violating the silence and continued to fight.
In 1991, Nagorno-Karabakh, the majority of whose population were Armenians, declared independence from Azerbaijan. Baku tried to return the region by force, a war broke out. In 1994, Azerbaijan, Armenia and the unrecognized NKR signed a truce.
The war in Abkhazia began in August 1992. The conflict erupted after the Supreme Council of the Abkhaz ASSR restored the Constitution of Abkhazia in 1925 and proclaimed the independence of the republic. The State Council of Georgia canceled this decree and introduced the National Guard to Abkhazia. Active hostilities continued until September 1993. In May 1994, Georgia and Abkhazia signed a ceasefire and disengagement agreement in Moscow.
