The war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the two countries neighboring by opposition Nagorno-Karabakh, has entered its tenth day.
The Turkish media outlet TRT World reported that three villages had been liberated in the Jabrail district, near Karabakh. The area was occupied by Armenia in 1990.
Azari President Ilham Aliyev said in a tweet on Monday night: “Our proud army is conducting a successful operation. Karabakh is from Azerbaijan.
Earlier Monday, the Turkish Defense Ministry cited reliable sources in Azerbaijan as saying that Baku had liberated a total of 22 occupied settlements. The Azerbaijani army is conducting operations to regain its occupied territories.
The 10-day conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh opposition is the worst of the total wars of the 1990s. Approximately 30,000 people died in that war.
Armenia is a member of the military alliance of the former Soviet Union. This alliance is led by Russia. Turkey, which has conflicting relations with Armenia, is a close ally of Azerbaijan. Yerevan has alleged that Turkey sent mercenaries from northern Syria to strengthen Azerbaijan in the Karabakh conflict. Ankara has denied the allegations.
Although Nagorno-Karabakh is within Azerbaijan, ethnic Armenians have been controlling the region, with Armenia supporting it. Although the region was separated from Azerbaijan in the 1969-94 war, it has not yet been recognized as an independent state.
