Patrushev: West seeking to create instability in South Caucasus

The West is seeking to create instability in the South Caucasus region, Russia's Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev said, addressing a security council secretaries’ meeting on Afghanistan.

According to him, the West is trying to obstruct the Armenia-Azerbaijan settlement process.

"We can also see the Westerners’ desire to create instability in the South Caucasus and obstruct the Armenian-Azerbaijani settlement process, which has led to a rise in tensions in the related regions," Patrushev said.
