ArmInfo.Athens pointed out the unacceptability of the sale of arms to Ankara, since it is used by the Turkish side to destabilize the situation in all countries of the region. Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias stated this at a joint press conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Athens.
He noted that he expressed concern about the negative role that Turkey plays in Syria - undermining the gains achieved in the fight against Daesh. Dendias stressed that Turkey has become a travel agent for jigadists who are ferried to various fronts where hostilities are taking place.
The Greek Minister noted that he had discussed with his Russian counterpart the situation in the zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. "We discussed the efforts being made by the international community to achieve a truce between the conflicting parties. In this context, I informed about my recent visit to Yerevan and the importance of achieving a ceasefire regime," Dendias said.
In turn, Lavrov noted that he had informed his Greek counterpart of the role that Russia, as a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, plays in order to stimulate the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, starting with an immediate ceasefire. At the same time, he added that Moscow is interested in ensuring that all problems and conflicts in the post-Soviet space are resolved and overcome. -
