Le Conseil de Sécurité du gouvernement arménien : la Turquie menace la région

EREVAN — Armen Grigoryan, the secretary of the Armenian government’s Security Council, reaffirmed Yerevan’s serious concerns over Turkey’s vehement support for Azerbaijan shown during and after recent deadly clashes on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, Azatutyun.am reports.

“Seeing that Azerbaijan is unable to keep the situation under control on its own, Turkey is trying to intervene,” Grigoryan told RFE/RL’s Armenian service. “I think that this poses a serious threat to the region. It is also a challenge to the regional security architecture. The regional security architecture has long been unchanged. Turkey is now trying to change it through its intervention.”

“We are fully prepared and will take steps to minimize this [threat.]” he said. “We also have a lot of work to do in this direction with our strategic ally Russia in order to prevent such changes in the region.”

Asked about Moscow’s reaction to the Armenian concerns, Grigorian said: “The July incidents [on the border] coincided with the coronavirus pandemic, and we have not yet been able to discuss the issue at a higher level. But these issues are on the agenda because they are about challenges facing the region and we need a common response to these challenges.”….
