Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced at a Turkic Council meeting on Wednesday, March 31 that he will visit the city of Shushi in Nagorno-Karabakh after Ramadan, local media reports reveal.
Shushi fell under Azerbaijan's control following Baku's six-week aggression against Karabakh in fall 2020. In the war against Artsakh (Karabakh), Turkey supported Azerbaijan militarily, also by transferring terrorist mercenaries from the Middle East to fight against Karabakh. Armenia was the first to report on Turkey's deployment of thousands of Syrian fighters to Azerbaijan. International media publications followed suit, as did reactions from France, Russia, Iran and Syria. The Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army has already unveiled footage from the interrogation of two such terrorists captured on the front.
"It is important that we continue to be on the side of Azerbaijan with all our capabilities for the protection and recovery of Turkic structures in Karabakh," Erdoğan said, according to Daily Sabah.
