"Turkey has been supporting Azerbaijan within the context of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict since the 1990s, when it imposed land blockade on the Republic of Armenia. However, Turkey’s support to this aggression and its preparation to this aggression and its preparation has undergone qualitative changes and is characterized by its direct presence on the ground," Armenia;'s Foreign Ministry stated on Monday commenting on the Azerbaijani aggression against Artsakh.

As the statement, released by the ministry press service said, the Turkish military experts are fighting side by side with Azerbaijan, who are using the Turkish weapons, including UAVs and warplanes. "According to credible sources, Turkey is recruiting and transporting foreign terrorist fighters to Azerbaijan. Meanwhile, Turkey provides full political and propaganda support to Azerbaijan at the highest level of its leadership," the ministry said.

"The situation on the ground clearly indicates that the people of Artsakh are fighting against the Turkish-Azerbaijani alliance. Turkey, which a century ago annihilated the Armenian people in their historical homeland and up until now justifies that crime, now supports Azerbaijan by all possible means to carry out the same genocidal acts in the South Caucasus. This genocidal Turkish-Azerbaijani alliance is a serious threat to the peoples of the region." added the statement.

The Ministry further noted that Armenia and Artsakh are strongly determined to repel with their full capacities and neutralize the intent of that alliance. "And that strong resolve of the Armenian sides has no alternative, as it embodies the unshattered will of the Armenian people to live in their historical homeland."
