Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Baku/23.12.20/Turan: “We are faced with extremely complex problems in a wide geography from the Eastern Mediterranean to Libya, from Syria to Nagorno-Karabakh. We did not allow anyone to infringe upon the honor of our brothers and the interests of our country. We have never bowed down to our oppressors. Today Turkey is known first for its humanity, its foreign policy is based on justice and dignity, stated the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on December 23 at a meeting of the ruling Justice and Development Party.
Focusing on the Karabakh conflict, Erdogan said that the United States, France and Russia (the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group) could not solve this problem for 30 years. “In the end, o
ur Azerbaijani brothers made a decision and liberated their land themselves,” Erdogan added.
He noted that Turkey has no territorial claims to any country, including its neighbors. “We are just fighting challenges against the rights and sovereignty of our country. We are trying to protect the interests of the Cypriot and Azerbaijani Turks,” the Turkish President said. –06D-
