Erdogan: Azerbaijan's Victory Removes Boraltan Stain From Turkiye's Conscience
(MENAFN- AzerNews)
"Turkiye's strong support to Azerbaijan during the 44-day
Patriotic War made it possible to liberate the historical lands of
Azerbaijan from the Armenian Occupation and removed the shameful
stain of the Boraltan tragedy of 1944 from the conscience of our
country. At that time, Ankara handed over a group of brotherly
Azerbaijanis to the Soviet authorities, and they were immediately
shot."
Azernews reports, citing Azertag that Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said this at a briefing held in
Ankara based on the results of the government meeting.
President Erdogan called the shooting of 176 Azerbaijanis a
tragedy and said that the Republican People's Party of Turkiye
(CHP), which was in power at that time, was to blame for this
tragedy.
"Our people have carried the pain of the Boraltan tragedy in
their hearts for 76 years. The 30-year Armenian occupation of
Garabagh has already ended, and the people of Turkiye have been
saved from the stain of the Boraltan tragedy. We cannot allow the
repetition of such events," said the politician.
