Turkish MFA Spokesman: Turkey not involved in any phase of recent tension between Azerbaijan and Armenia

 Turkey was not involved in any phase of recent tension between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Foreign Ministry spokesman Selcuk Unal said on Wednesday.

Unal said that the efforts to make Turkey a target in a recent tension between Azerbaijan and Armenia was a new defamation campaign
against Turkey.

Unal meant the tension over Ramil Safarov, an Azeri officer who was sentenced by a Hungarian court to life in jail for brutally killing an Armenian officer in Budapest in 2004 but was extradited by the Hungarian authorities to his home country on Aug 31 and pardoned by the Azeri President once back home.
