STEPANAKERT, MARCH 29, ARTSAKHPRESS: "We very much hope that this situation will end with a peace treaty, we sincerely wish so," Valentina Matvienko said, commenting on statements by Azerbaijani Parliament Speaker Sahiba Gafarova and her Armenian counterpart Alen Simonyan on a possible peace treaty.

The Russian Defense Ministry said on March 26 that Azerbaijan’s forces had entered into the zone of responsibility of the Russian peacekeeping contingent in Nagorno-Karabakh. On Sunday evening, it said that Azerbaijan had pulled its forces out of the community of Farukh (Parukh) in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Earlier, the Armenian Foreign Ministry said that Azerbaijani forces intruded into the village of Parukh, the Askeran District of Nagorno-Karabakh at about 15:00 Moscow time. Yerevan accused Baku of disrupting gas supply to Nagorno-Karabakh in the area of Shusha.

Tensions in Nagorno-Karabakh aggravated on September 27, 2020, when hostilities flared up there. On November 9, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a trilateral statement on the cessation of hostilities in the area of the conflict. The Azerbaijani and Armenian forces stopped at the positions they were holding at the moment, a number of districts were placed under Baku’s control and Russian peacekeepers were deployed along the engagement line and the Lachin corridor.
