Armenia's foreign ministry said on Friday it was ready to engage with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to re-establish a ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh, where fighting has been raging since Sunday.
France, Russia and the United States, co-chairs of the OSCE's Minsk Group, set up in 1992 to mediate in the conflict between Azerbaijan and ethnic Armenians over the mountainous enclave in the South Caucasus, called for an immediate ceasefire on Thursday. But Turkey said the three big powers should have no role in peace moves.
Comment: Armenia says it shot down an Azeri drone
over its capital, and a man reportedly died from an airstrike inside Armenia, suggesting the Azeris might be taking the fight from NKR into Armenia itself. After shelling on the capital, Armenia put its national army units on
full combat alert. Two French journalists for
Le Monde were seriously
injured in an Azeri airstrike while covering the war. RT captured footage of aftermath of an attack on the NKR capital.
Macron, citing 'credible information',
asserted that Syrian jihadists are indeed fighting in NKR.
According to Turkey's FM Cagusoglu, Azerbaijan has not requested assistance, but Turkey "would not hesitate to do so" if asked. One of the sole leaders NOT calling for peace, Erdogan expressed his hope that Azerbaijan will
press on with the offensive until NKR region is free from "Armenian occupation."
