Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan reaffirms Azerbaijan’s sovereignty over the Lachin road, highlighting Baku’s legal authority to take the required steps
The minister also called on the international community not to discriminate between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
The Zangezur region was originally part of Azerbaijan, though the Soviets gave it to Armenia in the 1920s, leaving Azerbaijan deprived of a direct overland route to its exclave of Nakhchivan. The corridor would be near or adjacent to Armenia’s border with Iran, reportedly making Tehran concerned the project might cut off its frontier with Yerevan.On Türkiye's normalisation process with Armenia, Fidan said dialogue continues on what steps should be taken with respect to relations between the two nations.
Despite Türkiye being one of the first countries to recognise Armenia's independence in 1991, the two countries have been divided on a range of issues, including Yerevan's occupation of Azerbaijani territories, the events of 1915 during the reign of the Ottoman Empire and the border closure between the two neighbouring countries since 1993.Bilateral ties with Azerbaijan"Our economic relations are pleasing. Our mutual investments are over $30 billion.
