ArmInfo. The current escalation of the armed conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan is part of a broader strategy of destabilization, pursued by the Turkish leadership, said RIA Novosti deputy from the Italian party "League" Giulio Centemero.
"Intervention is already taking place. I believe that this sudden conflict is part of the destabilization strategy created by (Turkish President Recep Tayyip) Erdogan," Centemero said.
According to him, the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh poses a danger to Europe and occurs at a time when the Turkish president "destabilizes (the situation) in the Eastern Mediterranean region." "The destabilization in the South Caucasus precisely at that historical moment, when Armenia and Nagorno- Karabakh accept many Syrian refugees, thereby alleviating a very serious problem, and Yerevan is carrying out democratic reforms, turning Armenia into a link between East and West, will mean the weakening of Europe into on the whole and will benefit only Turkey, "Centemero stressed.
According to the interlocutor of the agency, the European Union should urge Turkey to refrain from any participation in the conflict.
Armenian Ambassador to Russia Vardan Toganyan previously stated in an interview with RIA Novosti that the militants deployed by Turkey from Syria are already participating in military operations in Nagorno- Karabakh on the side of Baku.
