Armenian Prime Minister, Nikol Pashinyan has stressed that Turkey aims at interfering in the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia not to liberate Azerbaijan's territories as it claims, but to control the gas supply lines to Europe.

Pashiniyan concluded by saying battles in the Karabakh district are underway to settle the district's status legally, saying on his private account on Facebook :'' reaching an agreement on an acceptable legal status on Karabakh was not possible, and all attempts have been consumed''.

According to Pashinyan, the last chance was in 2011, in Khazan, adding :'' where a Russian- Azeri –Armenian summit was held, and ended without reaching any agreement on primary principles of the legal status of Karabakh.

The struggle between Armenia and Azerbaijan intensified on September 15^th, that witnessed a ceasefire via Russian mediation on October 10^th, but it did not last for a long time, due to Turkey's endeavours to put an end to the agreement.
