on Lachin city on his official Twitter account.The president noted
that Azerbaijan's Army is stationed in the city of Lachin. The
villages of Zabukh and Sus were taken under control.

took full control of Lachin city, as well as Zabukh and Sus
settlements on August 26.

peacekeepers to provide communication between Armenia and Karabakh
region. Under the November 10, 2020, trilateral statement, signed
by the Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian leaders, the city was to
be handed over to Azerbaijan after the completion of a new road,
which would be an alternative to the Lachin corridor.
Following the completion of the new road bypassing Lachin,
Azerbaijan demanded Armenia clear the unlawfully occupied city and
adjacent settlements by August 25.
