The deployment of Russian peacekeepers could become an "optimal solution" to the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh), Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in an interview with The Daily Telegraph.

"I am in favor of deployment of Russian peacekeepers in the conflict zone," Pashinyan said. "But the problem is that deployment of Russian peacekeepers in the conflict zone needs to be acceptable to all sides of the conflict."

The Armenian PM also said that Europe should do more to stop President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey—a NATO member—from backing Azerbaijan in this conflict.
