WarGonzo: soldiers of the 102nd base of the RF Armed Forces became human shields for the ceasefire in Armenia 
The soldiers of the 102nd Russian military base actually became a human shield that helped secure the ceasefire between Armenia and Azerbaijan. This became known to the Telegram-channel WarGonzo of the war correspondent Semyon Pegov.
According to him, on the night of November 17, several detachments of soldiers from the Russian military base moved to the front line. It was their presence in the conflict area that made it possible to stop further clashes between the armed forces of the two countries.
“Azerbaijanis do not risk shooting at the Russian military or conducting artillery fire in their immediate vicinity,” the channel noted. >
On November 16, Armenian opposition leader, leader of the Azatagrum (Liberation) movement Mika Badalyan said that the 102nd military base of the Russian Armed Forces in Gyumri, Armenia, was raised by alarm against the background of the aggravation of the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. p>
Prior to this, the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan reported that the Armenian military attacked Azerbaijani posts in the Kelbajar and Lachin regions of the republic. In turn, the Armenian Defense Ministry stated that the Armenian military came under fire from the Azerbaijanis in the eastern direction of the border. Armenia and Azerbaijan stopped clashes in the border area after negotiations with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. There are dead and wounded on both sides.
Currently, the 102nd Russian military base is located on the territory of Armenia. The agreement on its creation was concluded between Yerevan and Moscow in 1995. The facility has two military garrisons located in the city of Gyumri and the capital of the country. The number of the personnel of the base is about four thousand people.
