The Ministry stated that during the armed conflicts that started on 27 September 2020, Azerbaijan had shown Armenia and the whole world that it had the ability and the self-confidence to reclaim its territories under occupation for nearly 30 years.

Reminding that calls for ceasefire were made from all over the world with humanitarian considerations, the Ministry emphasized that Azerbaijan gave Armenia a last opportunity to withdraw from the territories it has occupied.

The ministry noted that the ceasefire was an important first step, but could not replace a lasting solution.

“Since the beginning, Turkey has always underlined that it would only support those solutions which were acceptable to Azerbaijan. With this understanding, Turkey will continue to stand by brotherly Azerbaijan on the ground and at the table,” the Ministry concluded. (ILKHA)
