Turkey resumes to powerfully back discussions of peace among Azerbaijan, Armenia


(MENAFN) Turkey resumes to powerfully back the discussions of peace among Azerbaijan as well as Armenia, Turkey’s UN ambassador stated on Wednesday as the UN Security Council met to talk about the state of affairs in Karabakh at Yerevan’s appeal.

"As a country with vested interests in regional peace and stability and actively engaged in initiatives towards this objective, Türkiye is concerned with the attempts of Armenia to exploit international platforms, including the UN Security Council, to express politically motivated allegations regarding the Lachin Road," Sedat Onal informed the Security Council.

Saying the necessity to talk about the matter in its "proper context," Onal peace talks the genuine worries of Azerbaijan should be into consideration.

"Azerbaijan has been expressing concerns over the abuse of the Lachin Road for supplying armed groups and illegal mine exploitation in Karabakh for a long time," he stated.

"However, these concerns and sensitivities were not taken into account, and Azerbaijan felt obliged to take measures on its own territory as it deemed appropriate within the framework of its sovereign rights," he also said.
