Today, on December 27, Artsakh residents marched to Stepanakert airport to demand a meeting with the commander of the Russian peacekeeping mission, Andrey Volkov.
Citizens marching in Artsakh decided to spend the night outside because they did not manage to meet with Volkov.
They marched to the Stepanakert airport, then went down from the airport entrance to the main entrance, where the peacekeepers were stationed.
