Nikol Pashinyan
Baku/14.03.23/Turan: Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan believes that the probability of a new war with Azerbaijan is high. He said this at a press conference on Tuesday.
"Now there is a very high probability of escalation both along the Armenian border and in Nagorno-Karabakh. This is evidenced by the increasingly aggressive rhetoric of Baku, there are some other data," the Prime Minister said.
That is why Armenia invited observers from the European Union, he said. Pashinyan believes that the international community should recognize the high level of threat of a new escalation.
"Having regard to the blockade of the Lachin corridor and the threat of ethnic cleansing in Nagorno–Karabakh by Azerbaijan, the position of the Armenian leadership remains the same - an international fact-finding mission should be sent to the Lachin corridor and Nagorno-Karabakh," Pashinyan said. -02D-
