Armenia PM says Russia failed to avert Karabakh offensive

Published by

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on Thursday accused Russian peacekeepers of failing to avert an Azerbaijani offensive in which Baku claimed full control over disputed Nagorno-Karabakh.

“If the peacekeepers managed to negotiate a ceasefire, then why didn’t they manage to negotiate an agreement to prevent the attack on Nagorno-Karabakh?” he asked in a nationally televised address. “We were warning of it: why didn’t they fulfil their peacekeeping functions?”
