He was speaking at a meeting with representatives of different nationalities living in Belarus.
"And what happened in Karabakh is the fault of the Armenian leadership alone. I warned them (the Armenian authorities - ed.) personally: give them (Azerbaijan - ed.) these territories. Moreover, they (the Armenian authorities - ed.) admitted that these are "not our territories." Yes, these are not our lands, these are Azerbaijani ones. But we (Armenia - ed.) will not give them up - we will fight," Lukashenko said.
The Belarusian leader noted that he called for a peaceful settlement of the problem between Yerevan and Baku.
"Then I asked Putin. The two of us started asking Pashinyan: "Solve this problem!" Lukashenko said, noting that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan responded: "No, we will fight."
"Well, you fought. And then, why should you be offended by Russia or us now? You yourself (Pashinyan - ed.) recognized Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory," Lukashenko said.
