During his visit to Yerevan, the Greek Foreign Minister, Nikos Dendias, condemned today, Friday, the Turkish “intervention” in Nagorny Karabakh, the separatist region where a conflict rages between Armenians and Azerbaijan supported by Turkey.
“Turkey’s interference in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict raises our concern,” he said in a joint press conference with his Armenian counterpart Zahrab Mnatsakyanian.
The Greek minister added that Armenia and Greece “have a common problem, which is Turkey,” accusing Ankara of “ignoring the European Union’s calls to respect international law.”
The Nagorno Karabakh region, which has an Armenian majority, separated from Azerbaijan, coinciding with the period of the collapse of the Soviet Union, which resulted in a war that left thirty thousand people dead in the 1990s.
The clashes that had not previously stopped permanently resumed at the end of last September, and reached a level of violence unmatched since the 1994 ceasefire, and these clashes resulted in more than 700 people, according to an infinite toll.
Turkey is the closest ally to Baku, and several reports indicated the extension of the front lines with Syrian fighters loyal to Turkey, amid the exiles of Ankara and Baku.
Tension prevails in relations between Turkey and Greece, in a scene that is directly related to the maritime disputes between the two countries in the eastern Mediterranean, where there is a proliferation of exploration for energy resources such as gas and oil.
At the beginning of October, Azerbaijan accused Athens of turning a blind eye to the influx of Armenian fighters through Greece to fight alongside the separatist forces, which sparked a Greek protest and led the two countries to summon their ambassadors.
