According to a recent peace agreement signed by Russia between the two countries, the Kalbazar district was to be vacated by Armenian descent before November 15.
Hikmat Hajiyev, foreign policy adviser to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, said in Baku on Sunday that “Azerbaijan has extended the deadline for the Armenian army and illegal Armenian settlers to leave the Kalbazar district until November 25.” Hajiyev said that President Aliyev had extended the deadline on humanitarian grounds in response to the call of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
