OSCE Minsk Group has not succeeded in affecting developments: Armenia’s PM

Terrorist mercenaries who have been transferred to Azerbaijan by Turkey expose a dire danger to the region, Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in an interview to Iranian newspaper, stressing that regional countries should deal with this issue in a more serious manner.

According to IRNA, answering a question about whether the clashes may change into an all-out war and whether the world powers may interfere in the region, Pashinyan said Azerbaijan is frequently using Israeli drones, which shows that foreign powers are interfering in the region with various methods.

Except for the Minsk Group (the US, Russia, and France), no foreign interference is welcomed, the Armenian Prime Minister reiterated.

However, he noted, the group has failed to play a role in the developments so, in spite of their statements, they have so far not succeeded in affecting developments.

Answering a question about the obstacles to a ceasefire and the reasons for the continuation of clashes even after the Moscow meeting on Saturday, he said Turkey is clearly trying to impede the ceasefire because they have certain goals.

He stressed that the issue is that Turkey is after reviving the empire through making its presence in east, north, south, and southeast of Nagorno-Karabakh, which will directly affect all the regional countries.
