Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree on measures to maintain peace in Nagorno-Karabakh, AzVision.az reports citing the Russian media.

According to the decree, a military contingent of the Russian Armed Forces, numbering up to 1,960 servicemen, will be sent to Nagorno-Karabakh for a period of five years with automatic extension of its stay for a subsequent five-year period, if, six months before the expiration of the corresponding five-year period, Azerbaijan and Armenia do not declare their intention to stop compliance with the agreements reached.

The peacekeeping contingent will be deployed in the zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, along the line of contact in Nagorno-Karabakh and along the Lachin corridor.

At the same time, the President instructed the Ministry of Defense to rotate the personnel of the peacekeeping contingent in Nagorno-Karabakh at least twice a year, and replace military equipment as the resource is depleted and out of technical necessity.
