Russia has said on Friday it is prepared to mediate peace talks between ex-Soviet rivals Azerbaijan and Armenia after fighting escalated along their shared border. Turkey's defense industry chief said on Friday that his sector was ready to help Azerbaijan,
which has seen border clashes with Armenia in which 16 people have been killed. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday that it would not hesitate to "stand against any attack" on Azerbaijan and that Armenia was "out of its depth" in the conflict.
Fifteen soldiers from both sides and one civilian have died since Sunday in the clashes between the neighboring former Soviet republics, which fought a war in the 1990s over the mountainous Nagorno-Karabakh region.
Azerbaijan said it has lost 12 servicemen and one civilian in three days of fighting, and Armenia said four of its troops were killed on Tuesday. On Thursday, Armenian officials said 20 servicemen have been injured since Sunday, with one of them in grave condition.
The latest clashes occurred some 300 km from the mountainous enclave.
On Friday, Defence Industry Director Ismail Demir tweeted that "Our defence industry, with all its experience, technology and capabilities, from our armed drones to our ammunition and missiles and our electronic warfare systems, is always at the disposal of Azerbaijan!".
