Armenian Prime Minister said in an interview on Friday that a new war with Azerbaijan is very likely if the two countries do not reach a peace treaty.

Iran PressAsia: Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan warned Friday of the risk of a new war with Azerbaijan, accusing Baku of genocide in the breakaway Armenian-populated region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Baku and Yerevan have fought two wars over the mountainous enclave and a peace treaty remains a distant prospect.

Talks under the mediation of the European Union, United States, and separately Russia have brought about little progress.

"So long as a peace treaty has not been signed and such a treaty has not been ratified by the parliaments of the two countries, of course, a new war with Azerbaijan is very likely," Pashinyan told. 219
