Pakistan condemns attack by Armenian forces on Azerbaijan

Pakistan strongly condemned the attack by Armenian forces on the Tovuz district of Azerbaijan which resulted in several Azeri casualties.

The foreign office released a statement to extended condolences over the loss of lives to the bereaved families. It said the unresolved conflict of Nagorno-Karabakh poses a serious threat to regional peace and security with far-reaching consequences.

The Spokesperson said the recent provocative action is manifestation of the Armenian attempt to distract the international community and hamper the ongoing negotiation process for peaceful resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as enshrined in the relevant UN Security Council resolutions.

Notably, Pakistan does not have diplomatic relations with Armenia due to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and supports Azerbaijan in return for support over the Kashmir dispute.

At least four Azeri troops have been killed in two days of clashes involving tanks and artillery on Azerbaijan’s border with Armenia. The latest fighting was in Tavush an area north of Nagorno-Karabakh territory.

Azerbaijan’s military reported the four deaths but said it had destroyed an Armenian fortification and artillery. Armenia has not reported any deaths on its side in the clashes.
