Turkey has and will always support Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday,
TRT Haber channel reported.
"Turkey supported Azerbaijan after the unjust seizure of Azerbaijani
lands by Armenia. We will always support Azerbaijan," Erdogan said.
He also noted that Turkey fought against injustice, no matter in
which country it is throughout the history.
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.
