Cavusoglu: Turkey is ready to support Azerbaijan both at the negotiating table and on the battlefield
“Armenia must withdraw from Azerbaijan”
“The Kremlin, in the first place, starts from the need for an immediate ceasefire. Any statement about any military support or military activity definitely adds fuel to the fire.. We are definitely against this and do not agree to present the problem in this way, “Peskov emphasized.
“We call on all countries, especially our partners like Turkey, to do everything possible to persuade opposing parties to cease fire and return to peaceful settlement of this long-standing conflict through political and diplomatic means“Added Putin’s spokesman.
Azerbaijan and Armenia have suffered heavy losses in Nagorno-Karabakh.
A total of 98 people died in the conflict, including 84 separatist fighters and 14 civilians.
Earlier in the day, Turkey said it was ready to support Azerbaijan both on the battlefield and at the negotiating table. At the same time, Ankara emphasized that any attack on Azerbaijani territory was an attack on Turkey.
Nagorno-Karabakh, an autonomous region with a predominantly Armenian population, declared its independence from then-Soviet Azerbaijan in 1991. A major conflict between Baku and Yerevan devastated the region until 1994, when the countries agreed to initiate peace talks mediated by the Minsk Group of the OSCE. However, relations between the two countries remain strained by the frozen conflict.
