Report informs citing the New York Times. When Nikol Pashinyan spoke by telephone on Thursday with President Trump's national security adviser, he asked: "Why is nothing being done to stop a longtime United States ally, Turkey, from using American-made F-16 jets against ethnic Armenians in a disputed mountain region?"

Notably, the Turkish Ministry of National Defense and the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry have denied the enemy's claim.
