Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sent a decree to the country's parliament on sending Turkish military to Azerbaijan. Anadolu agency reports.
It is noted that the military will be involved in monitoring the ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh within the framework of the joint Turkish-Russian observation center.
Earlier, Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan ruled out any role for Turkey in peacekeeping operations in Nagorno-Karabakh. His Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov said that the Russian-Turkish monitoring center would operate remotely using drones. According to Lavrov, the boundaries of mobility of Turkish observers will be limited by the perimeter of the observation center on the territory of Azerbaijan, not close to Karabakh.
On November 9, Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan adopted a joint statement suggesting the cessation of hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh from November 10. Azerbaijan will gain control over the territories of Aghdam, Gazakh, Kelbajar and Lachin regions, and will also retain its territory captured during the hostilities, including Shushi. Armenia will retain the Lachin corridor. As part of the agreement, the parties will also have to exchange prisoners of war and the bodies of those killed.
