Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb. 27
By Rufiz Hafizoglu – Trend:
Armenia must know that Azerbaijan will liberate its lands from the occupation sooner or later, the Turkish media quoted Devlet Bahceli, leader of the Turkish Nationalist Movement Party, as saying Feb. 27.
He added that Azerbaijan will liberate its lands from the Armenian occupation soon.
"Turkey, as before, will support Azerbaijan in all spheres," Bahceli said.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
