Erdogan reaffirms Turkey's committment to peace and stability in the South Caucasus

"Turkey will continue to assist in peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, liberation of the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations and establishing peace and stability in South Caucasus,". This was stated by Turkish Prime Minister Tayip Erdogan whilst he was presenting the programme of the new Turkish Government to the Turkish Parliament on Friday.

Ankara is likely to intensify its diplomatic engagement with the region now that the Parliamentary elections are out of the way. Erdogan is expected to visit Azerbaijan later this month.
