Turkish-Russian Nagorno-Karabakh monitoring center to open Saturday
JAN 29, 2021 7:08 PM GMT+3
Ajoint Turkish-Russian center to observe the cease-fire in Nagorno-Karabakh will come into operation as of Saturday, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said on Friday.
One Turkish general and 38 personnel will work at the center to support efforts to ensure that the cease-fire lasts, Akar said in a statement.
Turkey and Russia agreed to set up the joint center to monitor the cease-fire reached between Azerbaijan and Armenia in November.
“The works on establishing the joint center have been completed. The joint center, where Turkish and Russian soldiers are to operate, will start its activities tomorrow,” Akar said.
The minister told Anadolu Agency (AA) that he has discussed matters of defense and security with his Azerbaijani counterpart Zakir Hasanov over the phone.
Noting that the latest developments were discussed with Hasanov, Akar said “we believe that the joint center will make great contributions to the continuity of the ceasefire and to ensuring peace and stability in the region.”
He vowed to continue to defend the rights of Azerbaijani people, and said: “We have sided with our Azerbaijani brothers/sisters in line with the concept of one nation and two states, and we will continue to do so.”
A Russian-brokered deal on Nov. 10 halted a six-week conflict between Azerbaijani and Armenian forces over the region of Nagorno-Karabakh and its surrounding areas, securing territorial gains for Azerbaijan.
Nagorno-Karabakh is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but had been under the occupation of ethnic Armenian separatists for nearly three decades.
Under the agreement, Armenia must provide Azerbaijan with a safe transport link through its territory to the exclave of Nakhchivan, which borders Turkey.

A joint Turkish and Russian observation center to monitor a cease-fire deal between Azerbaijan and Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh will become operational on Saturday, Turkey’s defense minister announced.
Hulusi Akar said in a statement Friday that a Turkish general and 38 personnel would be on duty at the center which aims to monitor possible violations of the truce. He did not provide further information.
Turkey and Russia agreed to form an observation center shortly after the cease-fire agreement, reached in November, ended six weeks of intense fighting between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
“Work toward the creation of the joint center has been completed. The center which will be manned by Turkish and Russian soldiers will become operational tomorrow,” Akar announced.
“We believe that the joint center will greatly contribute to the durability of the cease-fire and to the establishment of peace and stability,” Akar said.
