Amid the heightened tensions around Iran following the US airstrike that killed top military commander Qassim Suleimani (pictured above) in Baghdad, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned all parties involved that “the world cannot afford another gulf war”.
Armenia has expressed “serious concern” regarding the latest incidents in Baghdad which have led to human loses, the foreign ministry said in a statement.
The killing of Iran’s top security and intelligence commander Qassim Suleimani by the United States is “for all practical purposes a declaration of war”, according to Robert Malley, the president and CEO of the International Crisis Group who served as White House coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf Region under President Barack Obama.
With God’s blessing and our nation’s collective potential, we will continue to struggle for the right of our compatriots to live freely and peacefully in the Republic of Artsakh.
