(
MENAFN- AzerNews) Turkiye is following the long-term discussions regarding the
Lachin road and understands Azerbaijan's legitimate concern about
this issue, said the Turkish Ministry of Defense's statement,
Azernews reports, citing the Ministry.
Turkiye has been closely following the long-standing debate on
the Lachin road and understands Azerbaijan's legitimate concerns on
this issue. Unfortunately, these concerns, which Azerbaijan has
loudly voiced for a long time, have not been taken into account and
as a result, Azerbaijan has taken measures that it considers
appropriate within its sovereign rights.
Turkiye believes that there is no basis for criticizing
Azerbaijan with regard to the Lachin route. The fact that medical
passages on the Lachin road, as well as other routes suitable for
the transport of large amounts of material, are now provided for,
shows that the Azerbaijani side is making its best endeavors in
good faith.
We expect Armenia to avoid provocative steps, to recognize the
territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan, to support the
use of "Aghdam-Khankendi" and other alternative ways to meet the
needs of the Armenian population in Garabagh, and to support
efforts to reintegrate the Armenian population of Azerbaijan.
Turkiye believes that in order to ensure peace and stability in
the region, the territorial integrity, sovereignty and humanitarian
efforts of friendly and brotherly Azerbaijan should be supported
and actions that exacerbate the situation should be avoided.
