No Turkish peacekeeping missions will be dispatched to the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Russian and foreign media in an interview concerning crucial issues on the international agenda, TASS reported. 

"No peacekeeping units of the Turkish Republic will be dispatched to Nagorno-Karabakh. There is a clear provision on that score in the joint statement of the leaders [of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia on complete termination of hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh]," he said.

The boundaries of Turkish observers’ mobility will be limited by the Russian-Turkish center for control over the ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh located in Azerbaijan, Sergey Lavrov said.

"The boundaries of Turkish observers’ mobility are limited by those geographic coordinates that will be determined for the location of the Russian-Turkish monitoring center, which is being set up in Azerbaijan, in that part of the territory that is not close to Karabakh and that will be agreed on additionally."

Russia sees no attempts of disrupting the agreements reached on Nagorno-Karabakh, the top diplomat said. "As yet I don’t see any signs that someone is trying to break these agreements," Lavrov said.
