Baku: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on a visit to Azerbaijan Thursday that Baku’s struggle with Armenia was not over as he hailed his close ally’s glorious victory in a bloody conflict with Yerevan.
Erdogan arrived in Baku to attend nationwide celebrations marking Azerbaijan’s military triumph over Armenia in six weeks of fighting over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. Turkey backed Azerbaijan during a conflict that erupted in late September and left more than 5,000 people dead.
Azerbaijan’s win against Armenian separatists in Karabakh last month was an important geopolitical coup for Erdogan who has cemented Turkey’s leading role as a powerbroker in the ex-Soviet Caucasus region the Kremlin considers its sphere of influence.
