Pakistan condemns Armenian attack on Tovuz in Azerbaijan

Islamabad (Web Desk): Pakistan has strongly condemned the attack by Armenian forces on the Tovuz district of Azerbaijan on Sunday, which resulted in several Azeri casualties.

In a statement, Foreign Office Spokesperson Aisha Farooqui said Pakistan extends its sincere condolences to the bereaved families.

Farooqui 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.
