The Kremlin published statement on a ceasefire in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is different from the text released in the early hours of 10 November after Armenia & Azerbaijan agreed to a Moscow-brokered deal to end weeks of fighting, according to Meduza https://meduza.io/feature/2020/11/10/kreml-opublikoval-tekst-soglasheniya-o-prekraschenii-voyny-v-nagornom-karabahe-on-ochen-otlichaetsya-ot-togo-chto-rasprostranyali-ranshe?utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=share_twitter&utm_campaign=share
. @meduzaproject compared the joint statement by the 3 states' leaders posted on http://Kremlin.ru at11:45MST( http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/64384)with a text circulated by the Russian government owned Sputnik several hours earlier & concluded that they are very different from each other
Launched by Rossiya Segodnya, which is itself funded through RT, owned and operated by the Russian government Sputnik’s coverage of #Karabakh joint statement is here: https://m.ru.armeniasputnik.am/karabah/20201110/25248960/Voyna-budet-priostanovlena-Pashinyan-soobschil-o-trudnom-dlya-nego-reshenii.html?mobile_return=no
According to Meduza, changes had been introduced to clauses 2, 6 and 9 of the agreement.
Clause 2 of the statement published on the Kremlin website states: "Agdamsky district goes back to the Republic of Azerbaijan by 20 November 2020."
Clause 2 of the statement published on the Kremlin website states: "Agdamsky district goes back to the Republic of Azerbaijan by 20 November 2020."
In the text of the statement published by Sputnik, clause 2 reads: "Agdamsky district and territories held by the Armenian side in Gazakhsky district of the Republic of Azerbaijan go back to the Azerbaijani side by 20 November 2020.
Original wording in clause 6 said according to Sputnik that Armenia would keep control of the Lachinsky corridor, while the statement released by the Kremlin says that it will be controlled by Russian troops.
Another reported change to clause 6 relates to the future route through the Lachinsky corridor. The words "between Stepanakert (Xankəndi) and Armenia" were replaced with the words "between Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia"
In the original draft of the statement clause 9 read: "The Republic of Armenia makes arrangements for transport communications between Azerbaijan's western parts and the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic".
The statement on the Kremlin website reads: The Republic of Armenia "guarantees the security" of the transport communications between Azerbaijan and its exclave in Armenia.
