Igor Gorbul stated that Russian fighter jets stationed at a base in Armenia have conducted about 300 training flights since the beginning of 2012, and have increased the number of flying hours by more than 20 % from 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Violence has flared recently along the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which have been at war over the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, an Armenian-controlled enclave inside Azerbaijan, for more than 20 years. At least eight soldiers, five Azerbaijanis and three Armenians, were killed in clashes along the border last week.<\/p>\n<h2>Armenia and Azerbaijan : Nagorno Karabakh dispute that never ends<\/h2>\n<p>This is seen as sending a clear warning that Russia could intervene at any moment should violence escalate further in the territorial dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the NYT article states.<\/p>\n<p>Col. Gorbul said Russian fighter pilots were preparing for combat. &#8216;The main emphasis in performing aerobatic elements is made on the ability to apply them in real-life air combat conditions,&#8217; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian Foreign Ministry last week stated it regarded the border clashes between Armenia and Azarbaijan as &#8216; unacceptable &#8216; and would maintain all efforts to try to broker a peaceful settlement between two eternal enemies. Russia, along with France, the United States and other countries, has repeatedly urged a peaceful settlement to the Karabakh dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Russia maintains a military base in Armenia and regularly sells weapons to Armenia. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan are former states of USSR.<\/p>\n<h3>Russian interest over Armenia and Azerbaijan Karabakh conflict followed by swift Us warning<\/h3>\n<p>U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last week warned of possible disastrous consequences after deadly violence between Azarbaijan and Armenia ignited over Karabakh.<\/p>\n<p>Azerbaijan, which currently holds a seat on the United Nations Security Council, issued a statement. Azerbaijan was also appealing to the United Nations for help in hopes that international mediators could help reach a settlement over Nagorno Karabakh Conflict\u00a0until the end of 2012.<\/p>\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! -->\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russia shows more presence with training flights over Armenia, after deadly clashes occurred between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh dispute last week<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":562,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,80,63,17,118,101,14],"tags":[4204,24731,24734,24733,24729,24730,12447,24735,24732,24737,12183,12184,24736],"class_list":["post-19399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-america","category-breaking-news","category-daily","category-europe","category-hot","category-politics","category-world","tag-armenia","tag-armenia-azerbaijan","tag-armenia-azerbaijan-karabakh-conflict","tag-armenia-azerbaijan-karabakh-dispute","tag-armenia-karabakh","tag-azerbaijan-armenia","tag-azerbaijan-russia","tag-karabakh-conflict","tag-karabakh-dispute","tag-nagorno-karabakh-dispute","tag-nagorno-karabakh","tag-nagorno-karabakh-conflict","tag-russia-nagorno-karabakh"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/562"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19399\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
