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.

Russia remains defiant over Trump threats

Russian glide bombs and ballistic missiles struck a Ukrainian prison and a medical facility overnight as Russia’s relentless strikes killed at least 22 people across the country, officials said on Tuesday 29 July, despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to punish Russia with sanctions and tariffs unless it stops. Trump said on Monday he is giving Russian President Vladimir Putin 10 to 12 days to stop the killing in Ukraine after three years of war, moving up a 50-day deadline he had given the Russian leader two weeks ago. “I’m disappointed in President Putin,” Trump said during a visit to Scotland.
