Russian peacekeepers accompany Armenian pilgrims to Amaras Monastery
Russian peacekeepers ensured the safety of 30 Armenian pilgrims, who were escorted from Artsakh’s (Nagorno-Karabakh) capital Stepanakert to the Amaras Monastery and back.
As part of the implementation of the trilateral statement of the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia of November 9, 2020, Russian peacekeepers continue to assist in the restoration of peaceful life in Artsakh, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
As a result of the agreements reached, the Christian monastery is now in close proximity to the line of demarcation of the parties in Nagorno-Karabakh.
