The bill notes that as a result of anti-terrorist measures of local nature carried out by the Azerbaijani army on September 19–20 in the Garabagh region, the illegal regime on the territory of Azerbaijan was put an end to, but the final peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia has not yet been signed.
The document notes that Turkiye will continue to contribute to the maintenance of peace and stability in the region. It also mentions the successful work of the Turkish-Russian Joint Monitoring Centre.
The bill states that the activities of the Turkish Armed Forces in the Turkish-Russian Joint Monitoring Centre are a requirement of Turkiye's constructive role in the region.
