Pakistan concerned on deteriorating situation in Nagorno-Karabakh region: FO

ISLAMABAD(Dunya News) - Pakistan is deeply concerned on the deteriorating security situation in Nagorno-Karabakh region.

Spokesperson of the Foreign Office Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said that the intensive shelling by Armenian forces over the weekend on civilian populations of Azerbaijani villages of Terter, Aghdam, Fizuli and Jabrayil region is reprehensible and most unfortunate. He said this could compromise peace and security of the entire region. Armenia must stop its military action to avoid further escalation.

The spokesperson said that Pakistan stands with the brotherly nation of Azerbaijan and supports its right of self-defence. He said we support Azerbaijan’s position on Nagorno-Karabakh, which is in line with the several unanimously adopted UN Security Council resolutions.
