VIDEO: Russian Peacekeepers Prevent Entry to Artsakh with Aggressive Behavior and Weapons, Journalist Reports

Russian peacekeepers in civilian clothing exhibited aggressive behavior and language, masked and holding automatic weapons, preventing entry to Artsakh. This was reported by 1in.am journalist Zhiraer Voskanyan.

“The Russian peacekeepers, dressed in civilian clothing and displaying rude conduct and language, masked and pointing automatic weapons at us, did not allow us to enter Artsakh. They forced us to sit in an APC and took us to other masked Russian peacekeepers, insisting, ‘If you want problems, we can easily create them. We resolve issues here, we make decisions here,’” the journalist stated.

He further noted, “They said, ‘If there is a leadership in Armenia, then you should know that you cannot enter Artsakh. If you want to go to Artsakh, you must bring the permission of the Russian leadership.’” He shared this information along with a video on his Facebook page.
