“Turkey in contact with parties on the issue of monitoring deal to end Nagorno-Karabakh dispute”

 

Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu shared a message on his Twitter account.

Congratulating Azerbaijan on liberating its occupied territories, Turkey’s foreign minister on Tuesday called the Karabakh deal a "great victory" for Baku.

"We will continue to stand with Azerbaijan. This [deal] is a great success and victory for Azerbaijan. Lands, under occupation for 30 years are being liberated," Mevlut Cavusoglu told a news conference in the capital Ankara.

He said that Turkey is in contact with the parties on monitoring the deal to end the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute.

Russian President Vladimir Putin had earlier announced that Azerbaijan and Armenia signed an agreement to create the necessary conditions for a long-term and comprehensive solution to the longstanding conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as Upper Karabakh.

The announcement sparked scenes of enthusiastic celebrations in many Azerbaijani cities, with thousands carrying both Azerbaijani and Turkish flags, singing national anthems and dancing in the streets.
