Baku (UNA-OIC) – Units of the Azerbaijani army entered Lachin district today, AZERTAC reported quoting Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan.
Tuesday’s entry of the Azerbaijani armed forces units into Lachin is based on the tripartite statement signed by the presidents of Azerbaijan, the Russian Federation, and the prime minister of Armenia.
The district of Lachin, like that of Aghdam surrendered on November 20 and that of Kalbajar surrendered on November 25, constituted a buffer zone which surrounded the self-proclaimed republic, mainly populated by Armenians, of Nagorno-Karabakh since the end of a first war in 1994.
