Türkiye calls on Armenia to learn its lesson, choose peace with Azerbaijan
Baku, September 13, AZERTAC
Armenia should stop its provocations along the border with Azerbaijan and instead make peace, said Türkiye’s foreign minister on Tuesday, according to Anadolu Agency.
In the wake of Azerbaijan’s response to these provocations, “Armenia needs to learn its lesson and seek peace," said Mevlut Cavusoglu.
Speaking at an event in the Black Sea province of Kastamonu, Cavusoglu cited the promise of Azerbaijan's comprehensive peace proposal, while "Armenia, on the other hand, burned and destroyed everything while withdrawing from Lachin,” a strategic city recently returned to Azerbaijan.
“They laid mines everywhere, pursued evil," he said.
Even though Türkiye and Armenia last year appointed envoys to normalize ties, Cavusoglu said, "Both the world and Armenia knows that this (normalization) process will not proceed independently of Azerbaijan. For full stability and peace in the region, the problems between all countries must be resolved."
"We always stand on the side with dear Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan never stands alone," he added.
