Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has called Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan the main instigator of the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Nagorno-Karabakh has been embroiled in a bloody war for more than 25 years. News-Reuters.
President Assad made the remarks in an interview with Russia’s RIA news agency on Tuesday. At the time, Assad claimed that fighters had been sent from Syria to the conflict zone.
However, Turkey has denied its participation in the Nagorno-Karabakh war. Under international law, the region belongs to Azerbaijan, but ethnic Armenians rule the region. However, no country has recognized it internationally.
In an interview with the Russian media, Assad said that he (Erdogan) was the instigator and instigator of the recent conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh.
French President Emmanuel Macron was the first to accuse Turkey of sending Syrian militants to fight there.
Turkey and Azerbaijan denied the allegations.
Assad claims that Syrian fighters are fighting for Azerbaijan and that Damascus can “confirm” this.
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.
