Turkey’s readiness to interfere after Azerbaijan instigates military actions rather worrying

Use of force by Azerbaijan in the context of settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is main threat to Armenia’s security, says the strategy of Armenia’s National Security.

As guarantor of security of Artsakh, Armenia assists the authorities of Artsakh in defense from Azerbaijan’s aggression.

The Republic of Armenia will prevent any new attempt of annihilation of people of Artsakh.

Armenia is for peaceful settlement of the conflict under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group.

The issues of Artsakh’s status and security are the priorities in the peace process.

“We will continue supporting the right of the people of Artsakh to self-determination without restrictions and force. Ensuring the security of the Armenians of Artsakh is the priority in the conflict settlement process and is not a subject of concessions. Artsakh must have necessary lines of defense for ensuring security and reliable, safe diversified system of reciprocal contact with the outside world, including with Armenia,” the document says.

The right of the people to self-determination recognized by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs as one of basic principles in the settlement of the conflict is a basis for participation of the authorities of Artsakh in the negotiations.

The attempts of Azerbaijan to change the military-political balance, violation of ceasefire regime impede the peaceful settlement of the conflict.

The military-political support provided to Azerbaijan by Turkey strengthens Azerbaijan’s ambitions to settle the conflict in a military way.

Turkey’s readiness of hidden or open interference in case of military actions instigated by the Azerbaijani side raises serious concerns.

The unlawful use of force by Turkey against the neighbor countries threatens the stability of the region in wider respect and makes the possible actions against Armenia unpredictable.

Turkey will stop being a threat to Armenia’s security after it reviews its unfriendly policy against Armenia and its people.
