Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu arrived in Azerbaijan today, Sunday, in the midst of a conflict with Armenia over the Nagorno Karabakh region, while the President of Azerbaijan announced that Armenia had lost the war, and demanded that it declare defeat.
"We are again in Baku with our brothers, to renew our strong support for dear Azerbaijan, and to exchange views on the recent developments in Nagorny Karabakh," Cavusoglu wrote in a tweet.
Çavuşolu expressed his pride in the field success of the Azerbaijani army in the march to liberate its lands.
He stressed that Azerbaijan showed its maturity to the whole world regarding the ceasefire issue;
Despite her superiority in the field and at the dialogue table.
The Turkish minister referred to Armenia's violation of the ceasefire, stressing that Turkey would continue its strong solidarity with Azerbaijan towards these violations.
Defeat of Armenia
On the other hand, the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, on Sunday held Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan responsible for the continuation of the fighting and the loss of life on both sides.
Aliyev said that Pashinyan sent a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin asking him for help, noting that Pashinyan admitted defeat through this message, but he does not want to surrender completely to save face.
Aliyev said that Pashinyan bears responsibility for the continuation of the war and loss of life on both sides, and that the best logical option is to declare Armenia's defeat, expel its forces from the lands of Azerbaijan, and resolve the conflict at the negotiating table.
Yesterday, Saturday, Pashinyan asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to start "urgent" consultations on the possibility of providing Russian security assistance to Yerevan, citing the Collective Security Treaty that binds the two countries.
In a letter to the Russian President, Pashinyan confirmed that the battles are approaching the borders of Armenia, and again accused Turkey of supporting Azerbaijan.
Russia responded by expressing its willingness to provide "necessary assistance" in the event that the fighting affects the Armenian lands, as the defense treaty does not include the Nagorno Karabakh region.
Since September 27, Azerbaijani forces and separatists in Nagorny Karabakh, backed by Yerevan, have been facing violent battles, and 3 humanitarian truces have so far failed.
