Sergei Naryshkin, Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), has voiced concerns that Transcaucasia might be transformed into a springboard for members of terrorist organizations amid the armed conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. 

The news was reported today by TASS.

Naryshkin noted that the fighting in Karabakh is attracting militant from various international terrorist structures like a magnet.

"We cannot but be concerned that Transcaucasia is capable of becoming a new springboard for international terrorist organizations, from where militants can subsequently infiltrate into states adjacent to Azerbaijan and Armenia, including Russia," Naryshkin stressed.

He said that that the parties to the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh will return to negotiations with the assistance of the international community.
