 Pakistan MFA rejects baseless Armenian statement over Nagorno-Karabakh

Pakistan has categorically rejected the baseless and unwarranted comments by the Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan that Pakistan’s armed forces fought along with the Azerbaijani army in the Nagorno-Karabakh region,  Spokesperson of Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said in a statement. 

“We have seen the transcript of Armenian Prime Minister’s interview on 15 October with a Russian TV referring to some unsubstantiated reports alleging involvement of Pakistani Special Forces alongside Azerbaijani army in the ongoing conflict. We categorically reject these baseless and unwarranted comments by the Armenian Prime Minister,” the Foreign Office Spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said. 

The Spokesperson said that President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan has also clarified his stance on the matter stating that Azerbaijani forces are strong enough to defend their homeland and do not need the help of foreign forces.

“It is regrettable that leadership of Armenia, to cover up its illegal actions against Azerbaijan, is resorting to irresponsible propaganda, which it must stop,” Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said.
