Russia-Turkey open monitoring center for Nagorno-Karabakh
Russia and Turkey opened a joint center on Saturday to see a ceasefire found in Nagorno-Karabakh that was first agreed carrying out a flare-up in the conflict in your community this past year, Azerbaijan's defence ministry said on Saturday.
The centre, which both countries decided to create in November, was officially opened in the Agdam region of Azerbaijan. It'll be staffed by up to 60 servicemen each from Turkey and from Russia, the defence ministry stated in a statement.
Immediately after six weeks of fighting, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a Russia-brokered ceasefire for the enclave, which is internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan but generally populated by ethnic Armenians. Turkey stated on Friday that one Turkish basic and 38 employees will continue to work at the centre.
The Russian Defence Ministry, quoted by Interfax, said that "monitoring will be completed through the consumption of unmanned aerial vehicles in addition to the evaluation of data received from other sources". Turkey backs Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh, and has criticised the co-chairs of the OSCE's so-named Minsk Group for not really resolving the long-jogging conflict in decades of mediation. The Minsk Group is led by america, France and Russia.
