Turkish Defense Minister: Armenia should stop provocations

Armenia should stop provocations, Turkish Minister of National Defense Hulusi Akar, who is visiting Azerbaijan, has said.

He said that Armenia should focus on regional cooperation and hold the extended hand of peace.

Akar prayed for God's blessing of the souls of those martyred as a result of provocations committed by Armenia on the border on September 12-13.

"Turkiye will continue to stand united with our Azerbaijani brothers until today and in the future. We always stand by dear Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan has never been alone," he said.
