Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Azerbaijan’s martyrs to date. We offer our condolences to their families and our brothers and sisters in Azerbaijan. We also wish a speedy recovery to Azerbaijan’s injured citizens.
Armenia’s aggression is a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions. The world must know that Azerbaijan merely seeks to ensure the safety of its civilian population near the frontline and to liberate its occupied lands.
We note that Azerbaijan has been taking all diplomatic steps and supporting equal and fair initiatives with due devotion – as any responsible state would. Azerbaijan has been observing international law to the letter.
We hope that today’s UN Security Council meeting will establish a strong foundation for a solution. Moving forward, Turkey will be fully committed to helping Azerbaijan take back its occupied lands and to defending their rights and interests under international law.
We call on global players to approach this matter from the perspective of fairness. The world cannot afford to equate the aggressor with the aggrieved party in the name of the so-called principle of neutrality or to preserve the political balance of power.
Turkey, under our President’s leadership, stands with Azerbaijan, our friend and brethren, completely. Let there be no doubt that the world will hear our roar if Azerbaijan were to suffer from the slightest injustice under international law.
