The Armenian Ministry of Defense reports that a video recently circulating on the internet, purportedly showing a group of Armenian servicemen being escorted out of a blockade near the Hadrut villages of Hin Tagher and Khtsaberd, is accurate.

"The operation was carried out due to the active steps of the Russian peacekeeping contingent carrying out a peacekeeping mission in the Artsakh Republic with the direct mediation of the contingent commander, Lieutenant General Rustam Muradov," the ministry said in a statement today.
