Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu discussed the situation in Nagorno Karabakh during their meeting on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly, a senior State Department official told reporters.
“They discussed Afghanistan at length. They also talked about Syria, and they had a relatively long conversation about the Caucasus – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Nagorno Karabakh,” the State Department official said.
“The U.S. has tried to be helpful in supporting a peace and reconciliation conversation between the two of them [Armenia and Azerbaijan]. We participated in a swap of – we midwifed a swap of some de-mining maps that the Armenians turned over to the Azerbaijanis in the disputed territory for the release of some detainees,” the State Department spokesperson.
“So the question now becomes whether, with U.S. support, with other Minsk Group countries’ support, with Turkey’s support, we can do more to facilitate a de-escalation of tensions between the two, both along the border, with regard to remaining detainees, with regard to remaining mines, and then take some – see them – help them take some small steps which might lay the path towards a larger peace and reconciliation process,” added State Department.
“So the Secretary made clear to Turkey, which has been very much involved in this and is a neighbor, that we are prepared to be helpful if we can be. We are also at a level below the Secretary having bilateral meetings with the Armenians and the Azerbaijanis this week and making the same offer there,” said the State Department official.
The United States discussing with Turkish officials the situation in Artsakh, falsely known as karabakh, is no different from discussing with criminals about their scene of crime. Who the heck is US kidding? Turkish terrorists planned and conducted this war for artificial gas station of Azerbaijan. Militarily incompetent artificial state of Azerbaijan, with all its petrodollar wealth, could not do in a million years what was done by terrorist Turkey and NATO member since 1952 against a tiny Armenian defense army. Turkey is a terrorist state which belongs to the same NATO club that US is leading. Turkish foreign minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu is the same anti-Armenian criminal who kept encouraging SOB chicken-hawk Aliyev to refuse many ceasefire brokered early during the war WHILE the Turkish terrorists, along with all the other criminals they had hired and transplanted into the conflict zone, were bombing Armenian hospitals, schools, cultural landmarks and the houses of worship. This Turkish criminal should be arrested and be held responsible for his part in the last war.
The US hypocritical foreign policy in that part of the world is sickening. They go out of their ways to appease these filthy Turkish terrorists. Would the US have allowed a third party to negotiate on their behalf with the Taliban, and the terrorists they were giving shelter twenty years ago, instead of sending half a million troops to kill and chase them out? Well of course not. These unscrupulous third party actors acting as negotiators on other’s behalf are no different from foxes watching the henhouse!
