Hulusi Akar: Tension on Azerbaijan-Armenia border is cause for concern

“Sporadic skirmishes and tension along the frontline between Armenian and Azerbaijani troops and a lack of success so far in recent attempts to bring the two sides to reach a peace agreement are cause for concern,” Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said in an article titled “The Caucasus region: A unique opportunity for peace and reconciliation” published by TRT World, Report informs.

“A golden opportunity emerged with the ceasefire agreement in 2020, ending three decades of Armenian occupation of Azerbaijani territories. This allowed one million internally displaced Azeris to return to their homes, a monumental step towards healing and reconciliation,” Akar said.
