The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which has been continuing for 26 years between Azerbaijan and Armenia, came to the agenda again with the conflicts that started on September 27. While the clashes between the two countries spread to the whole region, there were losses in the armies of both countries. Turkey, which adopts a more aggressive stance on this issue with military support to Azerbaijan, remained silent in the face of this attitude of international powers and regional powers. While the armies of the two countries responded to each other with heavy weapons in the conflict that has been going on for days, it was announced that a ceasefire has been declared with the mediation of Russia. Despite the ceasefire, while clashes still continue, the Nubar Ozanyan Armenian Battalion in North and East Syria, said besides Turkey's plan of sending paramilitary groups to the region, it also plans to send Taliban to the region.

 

PHOTOS FROM MA

 

While Turkey claims that YPG/PKK fighters have been sent to Armenia, the photos used in the Turkish media about this claim are photos of the Nubar Ozanyan Armenian Battallion, taken by Mesopotamia Agency (MA) reporters. While the photos taken during the establishment of the battalion have been served in this way for days, the media organs that used them were the newspapers Yeni Akit, Star and Yeni Şafak. All this while Turkey keeps sending paramilitary groups to the region. Nubar Ozanyan Armenian Battalion Commander Nubar Melkonyan spoke to our agency about what happened.

 

'PEOPLE LIVING IN THE REGION ARE FACE TO FACE WITH A MINDSET PRONE TO MASSACRE'

 

Melkonyan said that the reason for Turkey is in a state of war and tension with every country in the region is the ecomonic crisis in Turkey. Stating that Turkey is looking for a way to solve this, Melkonyan said Turkey is attacking everyone in order to find a solution to the economic crisis. Melkonyan who said that the other reason for this aggressiveness is the Ottoman dream of Turkey, coming with Turkism and racism, told that, "Turkey wants to be a state state of expansionism, colonialism. So when these two are combined, the people of the region is face to face with a Turkish racism and chauvinism that we can call a chief enemy. The people of the region is under great threat."

 

IT'S A PREPARATION FOR IRAN

 

Melkonyan pointed out that NATO and the United States are also trying to open the doors of intervention against Iran, Melkonyan said these attacks are a preparation for an intervention against Iran.  Stating that no attack was carried out at once, Melkonyan mentioned that it was started from small scale attacks. Stating that Azerbaijan attacks Iran a few times, Melkonyan said that Iran responding to this harshly warned that they will fight back if this happens again. Stating that there will be preparations against Iran in the upcoming days, Melkonyan said what happened in Karabakh might be an expansionist move.
