A civilian car crashed with a Russian peacekeeping unit's SUV
near Azerbaijan's Khankandi city, killing four people, Azernews
reports, citing Armenian media.
A car (HAVAL) driven by a Russian soldier collided with a
VAZ-2107 car driven by Sarushen E., a local resident (26). All four
victims were women aged 50, 51, 52, and 56 from Askaran. They were
passengers in a VAZ-2107 car driven by a Sarushen, who survived the
incident and was hospitalized.
About 2,000 Russian peacekeepers have been deployed for five
years in Karabakh under the trilateral cease-fire deal signed by
Baku, Moscow, and Yerevan on November 10, 2020. The signed
agreement obliged Armenia to withdraw all its troops from the
Azerbaijani lands that it had occupied since the early 1990s.
The trilateral ceasefire deal signed by the Azerbaijani, Russian
and Armenian leaders on November 10, 2020, ended the three-decade
conflict over Azerbaijan's Karabakh region, which along with the
seven adjacent regions came under the occupation of the Armenian
armed forces in the war in the early 1990s.
The deal also stipulated the return of Azerbaijan's Kalbajar,
Aghdam and Lachin regions. Before the signing of the peace deal,
Azerbaijan liberated 300 villages, settlements, city centers, and
historic Shusha city that had been under Armenian occupation for
about 30 years.
