The proposal would deploy the soldiers for peacekeeping in the disputed enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh for up to one year and will be voted on by lawmakers on Tuesday, Anadolu said.

Last week, Russia and Turkey signed an agreement to create a joint center for monitoring a ceasefire in Nagorn-Karabakh between the Azeri and Armenian militaries.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said Turkey would join Russian peacekeepers in the region to help monitor the ceasefire deal. The Kremlin said last week that Turkey and Russia would cooperate via the center located on Azerbaijan’s territory, but that there was "no discussion of joint peacekeeping forces".

Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia signed an agreement to end the military conflict on Nov. 9. According to the deal, Azerbaijan will hold on to areas of Nagorno-Karabakh that its military wrested from Armenian forces. Armenia has also agreed to withdraw from several other adjacent areas over the next few weeks.

On Sunday, Azerbaijan agreed to extend a deadline by 10 days for Armenians to fully vacate the Kalbajar district, one of seven areas adjacent to Nagorno-Karabakh controlled by ethnic Armenians for decades, Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency said.

The official withdrawal date was set for Nov. 15.

“Azerbaijan agreed to prolong the deadline for the withdrawal from Kalbajar of Armenian armed forces and of illegal Armenian settlers until Nov. 25,” Anadolu cited Azeri President Ilham Aliyev’s foreign policy adviser Hikmet Hajiyev as saying.

Turkey has thrown its full political and military support behind Azerbaijan in its conflict with Armenia over the breakaway region, which began in late September. It has been accused by France and Russia of providing Syrian mercenaries in support of its close regional ally.

Turkish military commanders were in charge of the Azeri operation in Nagorno-Karabakh, Russian newspaper Vzglyad said on Nov. 12, citing sources close to the leadership of the Azeri Defense Ministry.

Major General Bahtiyar Ersay, head of the Operations Directorate of the Ground Forces of Turkey, was directly involved in organizing military operations, Vzglyad said. He was based in the Azeri capital of Baku and reported to the top military and political leadership of Turkey on the course of the conflict, the newspaper said.

The work of Turkish generals in Azerbaijan, many of whom also took charge of a Turkish intervention in Libya, has been facilitated with the help of about 200 military advisers, Vzglyad said.
