Russia began deploying 2,000 peacekeepers to Nagorno-Karabakh on Tuesday. The deployment began after Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to a peace agreement to end weeks of fierce fighting in the disputed region. AFP News.

The peace agreement was negotiated by Moscow after the victory of the Azerbaijanis in the fight for the reconquest of the territory controlled by the Armenian ethnic group. As a result, protests took place in Armenia, but not in Azerbaijan. There, the protesters took to the streets to denounce their leaders for taking over the territory. During the war in the early 1990s, the territory came out of Azerbaijan’s control.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the peace agreement on Tuesday.

Pashinyan said the treatment was “unspeakably painful for me and our people.”

On the other hand, the president of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, referred to the agreement as the surrender of the Armenians. Boss
