Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian President Armen Sarkissian has stated he is ready to travel to Paris, London and Berlin to make Armenia’s case to European leaders.

“I am ready to tell Angela] Merkel that I understand that Europe is busy with other things and everyone is busy with COVID-19, but what you are probably not seeing clearly is that there is another disaster coming from the Caucasus to you that is not a biological virus but the virus of instability and war,” he said in the interview with POLITICO, touching on the war in Artsakh and current situation.

At the same, he does not feel the need to remind French President Emmanuel Macron about the conflict’s potential geopolitical ramifications.

“I think that Macron understands that instability in the Caucasus is going to hit the larger region and then it will affect Western Europe. He understands that the Turkish presence in Azerbaijan will make Southern Europe and Central Asia all dependent on Turkey and Turkey will emerge as a regional superpower and that is what Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan wants to achieve,” said the President.

Armen Sarkissian has also noted he would like visit NATO’s Brussels headquarters to “get explanations” as to why “Turkish weapons, drones and F-16 are involved in the process of bombing Armenia and Armenian civilians.”

“These are NATO-made weapons: the engines from Austria, the avionics are from Canada and the parts of the rockets are from Britain and so on,” added President Sarkissian.
