Representatives from Russia and Turkey will meet on November 13 to discuss the strategic and technical details of the agreement regarding Nagorno-Karabakh. This was announced on Thursday by Turkey's Minister of National Defense Hulusi Akar, as reported by TASS.

“An extended delegation will arrive from Russia tomorrow. We will discuss strategic and technical issues regarding who will be stationed where and who will be involved in what (in the region),” he stated. Additionally, Akar emphasized that “Turkey is at the center of the negotiations.”

“We are at the negotiation table and also 'on the ground.' There is no talk of any 'fait accompli,'” he added.
