On This Day in 1992, Bush Urges Turkey to Refrain from Military Intervention Against Armenia—American Expert
American expert Suren Sargsyan writes on his Facebook page: "On this day in 1992, two days after the Operation in Shushi, J. Bush calls on Turkey to refrain from military intervention against Armenia. On this day in 1992, Bush receives a phone call from Turkish Prime Minister Demirel that lasts only 11 minutes. This document contains exclusive information that the U.S. is exerting pressure on Turkey to avoid military intervention against Armenia.
"President Bush: 'On the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh, I am aware that you have received our message. We want peace to be established. I also understand that you are under internal pressure. I urge you to exercise restraint and refrain from military intervention. The situation is extremely complicated.'"
"Demirel: 'I also ask our people to arm themselves with patience. I tell them that military intervention is impossible. Overall, we cannot resolve issues with weapons today. We will also work with our Azerbaijani brothers.'"
"Bush: 'Last week, President Ter-Petrosyan called me, and I said that we need a peaceful resolution.'"
