“The Armenian lobby is very powerful in these three countries. That is, there is imbalance,” he added.
Russia and Armenia oppose the participation in the process of Turkey and any other country, the PM noted.
“We have tried to urge Germany, the OSCE chair, to play a role in the process. All Minsk Group members must participate in this process. As for the latest clashes, we stand by Azerbaijan. Any threat aimed at Azerbaijan is a threat aimed at Turkey. Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity and fate is our fate,” Davutoglu stressed.
