Turkey’s statements on Nagorno Karabakh are destructive, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the OSCE Alexander Lukashevich has said.

Ankara declared earlier it would do its utmost to ensure the “return of territories in Nagorno Karabakh to Azerbaijan.”

“The attempts to defend one of the parties to the Karabakh conflict are destructive and cannot have any continuation,” Lukashevich said, speaking to Rossiya-24 TV Channel.
