ANKARA - Turkey's presidency on Monday submitted a motion to the parliament for the deployment of Turkish troops in Azerbaijan to jointly monitor with Russia the ceasefire between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

The move seeks to deploy troops for peace-keeping in the region, said the motion, which will be voted in the parliament on Tuesday.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a joint statement on Nov 10, agreeing on a complete ceasefire

The deployment of Turkish troops aims at "the establishment of a ceasefire, prevention of violations, and ensuring peace and stability in the region in order to effectively protect the higher interests of Turkey," said the motion.

Armenia and Azerbaijan have been at loggerheads over the mountainous region of Nagorno-Karabakh since 1988. The latest round of armed conflict broke out in the region in September, causing heavy casualties and property losses.
