YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 1, ARMENPRESS. Turkey views the Nagorno Karabakh conflict as an opportunity to project its power in yet another neighboring region – the South Caucasus, Foreign Minister of Armenia Zohrab Mnatsakanyan said in an interview to Sputnik International.
“No one can assert that Turkey has been acting as an impartial or neutral player in the context of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, including Turkey itself.
