Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, in a telephone conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron, said about Turkey’s “aggressive” position regarding the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, the Pashinyan press service reported.

On September 27, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, in a telephone conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron, did not rule out Turkey’s intervention in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Local “channel 1” reported on this with reference to the press service of the head of the Armenian government.

“Pashinyan called on Macron to pay attention to Turkey’s extremely biased and aggressive position and the need to suppress possible interference by this country in the development of the situation,” the statement said.

According to the Pashinyan press service, Macron “expressed deep concern about the current situation and found it unacceptable to deepen the tense situation even further.”

The conflict between the two states over Nagorno-Karabakh escalated on September 27. The Armenian Foreign Ministry reported on the bombing of peaceful settlements, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry accused Armenia of “large-scale provocation” and bombardment of the Azerbaijani army positions. Civilians were reported killed and injured.

Martial law was introduced today in Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Turkey said it supports Azerbaijan in the conflict with Armenia, which, according to Ankara, “has once again violated international law.”

In 1991, with the support of Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh declared its independence from Azerbaijan. This led to hostilities that lasted until 1994. The armed conflict ended with the signing of the Bishkek Protocol on Armistice and Ceasefire, but from time to time armed clashes broke out between the parties. During the conflict, more than 30 thousand people died in the region.

Azerbaijan considers Nagorno-Karabakh as a territory occupied by Armenia.
