Talk about deployment of peacekeeping forces in NKR premature
According to the resolutions of the 1994 Budapest summit, deployment of international peacekeeping forces in Karabakh will be conditioned by a political agreement signed by the conflicting sides, former Deputy Foreign Minister of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, independent expert Masis Mayilyan said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

"We do not know when such agreement will be signed, so the talk about deployment of international troops is premature. Even after conclusion of a peace agreement, the sides can reject presence of third forces, because they learned to maintain ceasefire without assistance from the outside," he said.
