We want Karabakh to be associated not with war, but with peace and development, Trend reports, referring to the statement of Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu at a joint press conference with his Azerbaijani colleague Jeyhun Bayramov.
"September 27 is the Remembrance Day of the martyrs of the Patriotic War of Azerbaijan, which resulted in Karabakh’s liberation.
