Turkey’s Erdogan blames deadly Karabakh clashes on OSCE MGApril 3, 2016 - 02:35 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has blamed the “inability” of an international mediation group to find a peaceful solution to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict for recent deadly clashes in the Republic, Anadolu Agency reports. "The struggle over Nagorno Karabakh, which has been occupied for many years, is a result of the inability of the Minsk Group," Erdogan said, speaking to reporters ahead of a grand opening of a Turkish mosque in the Washington D.C. area. "If the Minsk Group had taken fair and decisive steps over this, we wouldn't have seen this incident happening right now," Erdogan said. Erdogan said that Turkey would support Azerbaijan to the end, adding that he had raised the issue during a two-day nuclear security summit in the U.S. capital.
