Turkey will provide Azerbaijan with necessary military support, Turkish
Defense Minister Ismet Yilmaz told journalists in Baku on Thursday.
He said Azerbaijani and Turkish Armed Forces will cooperate.
Yilmaz is on official visit to Azerbaijan from Oct.12. He will hold
bilateral meetings within the visit.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -
are currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
