Kosachov: Turkey’s one-sided position on Nagorno Karabakh issue “adds oil to fire”

YEREVAN, APRIL 4, ARMENPRESS. Head of the International affairs committee of the Council of Russian Federation Konstantin Kosachov announced that Turkey’s position, which cooperates with Azerbaijan only around the Nagorno Karabakh issue, contradicts the policy of the world powers and “adds oil to the fire”. As “Armenpress” reports, Kosachov stated this on his Facebook page.

He noted that Russia is in contact with all relevant parties for the settlement of the conflict. “Other responsible world policy members act similar to Russia, including New York (UN Secretary General’s urge), Washington, Brussels, London, Berlin, Paris and others”, he said, adding that only Ankara is behaving otherwise. “If I am not mistaken, the only leader that has contacted only one side and apparently supported that relevant side, is Turkish President Erdoghan”, Kosachov stated.

“Similar one-sided and irresponsible position, apparently “adds oil to the fire”, prompting one side of the conflict to continue it”, Kosachov said.

According to him, Ankara’s actions are directed “against all interests of the international community, where both Russia and NATO countries are currently objectively united”. “Everyone, except Turkey, understand that there will be no winner in this conflict, but many victims”, - the Russian Senator noted.

He reminded that, by the same model: “based exclusively on its own interest, rather than collective interests, Turkey acted and continues to act towards Syria, and now starts to act towards Ukraine”. “And this is becoming very dangerous”, Kosachov added, TASS reported.
