Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev revealed on Tuesday, that there are many attempts to obstruct the tripartite deal reached by Moscow, Baku, and Yerevan on Nagorno-Karabakh, according to Sputnik News agency.

"We have a hard and clear stance on the tripartite deal on Karabakh," Aliyev said in televised statements.

He also added that the ceasefire in Karabakh is generally being adhered to, but there are attempts to undermine the trilateral agreement, stressing that any interference in the situation will meet a tough stance.

On Tuesday, Azerbaijan announced that it regained control over the Lachin district, as a part of a peace deal, that ended weeks of fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh.

In an official statement, the defense ministry in Baku said, “Units of the Azerbaijani Army entered the Lachin region on December 1, under the deal signed on November 9 by Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Russia.”

Lachin is considered the last of three handed back by Armenia.
