The decision on the early withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers from the territory of Azerbaijan was made by the top leadership of Azerbaijan and Russia. This was stated by the Assistant to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Hikmet Hajiyev. Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Russia signed a trilateral ceasefire agreement in Nagorno-Karabakh on 09 November 2020. According to the document, Russian peacekeepers were stationed along the contact line in Nagorno-Karabakh and along the Lachin corridor to monitor compliance with the ceasefire. The duration of their stay in the region is five years from the date of signing the agreement, with subsequent extensions for the same period, unless either party waives this provision.
