Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticized the activities of the OSCE Minsk Group on the Karabakh conflict, RIA Novosti reported .

Turkish President called the calls of the OSCE Minsk Group for a ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh inadmissible.

“The Minsk Group, consisting of the United States, Russia and France, has not been able to resolve the Karabakh issue for 30 years. And today it is trying to find a way to an armistice against the backdrop of negative events, and this is unacceptable. If there really is a desire to achieve (a solution to the problem), then the occupants must leave these territories, only in this way a solution will be found, “Erdogan said, speaking in the Turkish parliament.

According to him, he discussed the Karabakh problem with the presidents of the Russian Federation, the United States and France. “But there is no result. Our brothers cannot return to their land. And since there is no result, now is the time to achieve it, and Azerbaijan began to take steps to independently” cut off the umbilical cord,” the Turkish leader added.

It should be reminded that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that Turkey wants to continue the Armenian Genocide.

“Why did Turkey return to the South Caucasus 100 years later? To continue the Armenian Genocide.

But the continuation of the genocidal policy is not only a way for Turkey to realize its hatred of Armenians, but also a pragmatic issue. Armenia and the Armenians of the South Caucasus are the last obstacle for the Turkish expansion to continue to the north, southeast and east and to realize the imperial dream.

This is no longer just a question of Karabakh, this is not just a question of the security of the Armenian people. This is an issue of international security, and the Armenian people are also defending international security, undertaking perhaps a modern historical mission.”

Earlier, Artsakh President Arayik Harutyunyan stated that this time, in order to end the conflict, the Russian Federation should have a dialogue not with Armenia and Azerbaijan, but with Armenia and Turkey. At that time Artsakh was fighting against Azerbaijan, Russia was able to persuade Azerbaijan and ask Armenia for a ceasefire. “Today RF has to talk to Armenia and Turkey. I do not know how ready the Russian government is to talk to the Turkish leadership,” Harutyunyan said.
