The peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia will ensure
calm and stability in the Caucasus region,
Azernews reports that Turkish National Defense
Minister Yaşar Güler said this at the discussion of the 2025 budget
of the National Defense Ministry in the plan-budget commission of
the parliament.
He stressed the importance of signing a large-scale peace
agreement between Baku and Yerevan.
The National Defense Minister also reported on the successes
achieved in the fight against terrorism. He noted that within the
anti-terrorist operations of the Turkish Armed Forces, 2,654
militants of the organizations banned from operating in the region
have been neutralized since the beginning of this year.
According to the minister, the Turkish army has changed its
strategy for fighting terrorism in recent years.
"Short-term strikes with a well-defined list of targets have
been replaced by large-scale operations without predetermined
deadlines. Such a strategy made it possible to deal a strong blow
to terrorist organizations, especially the PKK," Y. Güler said,
stressing his determination to completely eliminate the threat of
terrorism against Turkiye.
The Turkish minister drew attention to the importance of
cooperation between the countries of the region in the fight
against terrorism and said that concrete steps are being taken in
this area based on the agreements reached with the Iraqi
government.
As for the situation in Cyprus, Yaşar Güler noted that Ankara is
carefully monitoring "the stability-threatening actions of the
Greek community of the island."
The minister added that Turkiye observes "an increase in the
activity of foreign countries in the south of Cyprus under the
pretext of humanitarian activities".
