Former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili stated that the ruling party's signing of a document in support of Ukraine was motivated not so much by fears of an international investigation as by a desire to irritate Russia.
The Azerbaijani authorities must demand the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers from the former Karabakh conflict zone. This was stated by the chairman of the Popular Front of Azerbaijan party, Ali Karimli.
According to Karimli, Russian peacekeepers are protecting the weapons of Armenians from the Azerbaijani army. In fact, the Russian army is guarding these weapons in order to transfer them to Armenian forces again in the future, the politician noted.
Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the dismantling of six observation and 15 temporary posts of Russian peacekeepers in Nagorno-Karabakh. Further actions of the contingent will be discussed with Baku, press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said the day before.
