Erdogan attends Azerbaijan’s victory parade

epaselect epa08875584 Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev (R) and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (L) attend a military parade dedicated to the victory in the recent Karabakh war, in Baku, Azerbaijan, 10 December 2020. The simmering territorial conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh territory erupted into a war between the two countries on 27 September 2020 along the contact line of the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (also known as Artsakh). On 09 November 2020 Presidents of Azerbaijan and Russia and Armenian Prime Minister signed a joint statement announcing a complete ceasefire and halt of all military operations in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone, and return of the Aghdam, Kalbajar and Lachin districts to Azerbaijan.

Turkey could open its border gates to Armenia if Yerevan takes positive steps for regional peace, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday, adding he discussed forming a six-country regional cooperation platform with his Azeri counterpart.

Erdogan, in Baku to mark Azerbaijan’s victory in a war over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh enclave, earlier renewed a call for a change of leadership in Armenia.

Speaking alongside Azeri President Ilham Aliyev, Erdogan said he took issue with Armenia’s leadership not its people. Armenia could participate in the planned regional platform along with Turkey, Russia, Iran, Azerbaijan and Georgia if it contributed to regional peace, he said.
