“The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group have been ignoring the settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict for 30 years.
Today's events are the result of this.
The ongoing calls of the co-chairs for a ceasefire are unacceptable, ”Anadolu quoted the president as saying.
In his words, the problem will be solved after the withdrawal of Armenian forces "from the territory of Azerbaijan."
“More than a million refugees and internally displaced persons in Azerbaijan must return to their native lands.
However, none (of the intermediaries -

) contributes to this.
Please raise this issue first, ”he added.
Erdogan said he discussed these issues with Russian and French leaders Vladimir Putin and Emmanuel Macron.
“Much has been said about this, but there are no results.
Our brothers in Azerbaijan are forced to solve their problem themselves.
The calls of the countries that ignore the fact of occupation are not important for us, ”the head of state said.
Earlier Erdogan called the liberation of the "occupied lands of Azerbaijan" a condition for long-term peace in the Caucasus.
He noted that Turkey will continue to provide all possible support to Azerbaijan.
As stressed in the Russian Foreign Ministry, bellicose statements and actions of third parties in the situation with Karabakh can provoke an escalation.
On October 1, the presidents of Russia, the United States and France adopted a joint statement on the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, condemning "the escalation of violence taking place on the line of contact in the zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict."
