(MENAFN) Turkey on Saturday, October 18, criticized Greece for backing Armenia, in the present clash in the area with Azerbajijan.

Hami Aksoy, Foreign Ministry spokesperson, stated in a report that this standpoint is further evidence of "Greece"s choice for a policy of tension and escalation in its relations with Turkey, rather than good neighbourliness, dialogue and cooperation".

Aksoy said, pointing to the clash around Upper Karabakh, or Nagorno-Karabakh, a land belonging to Azerbaijan, that Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias "needs to differentiate between the occupier and the victim in Nagorno-Karabakh".

Aksoy advised Greece to criticize the unlawful Armenian occupation of Azerbaijani lands and follow the UN Security Council decisions that insists on Armenia to straight away, fully, and absolutely leave.
