Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday, September 21 used the UN platform to support Azerbaijan's aggression against Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).

Erdogan claimed that Baku "used its right to self-defense", when in reality it launched a large-scale war, attacked the peaceful population and killed thousands of people.

The Turkish leader also maintained that Azerbaijan's capture of control over most of Nagorno-Karabakh “enabled the opening of new windows of opportunity in the region for lasting peace,” Apa.az reports.

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.
